About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where the confluence of the American River and Bumping River created a focal point for backcountry recreation and forestry management in the early 1970s. The presence of numerous designated sites like American Forks Campground and Indian Flat Campground reflects the area's established role as a recreational gateway within the Cascade Range.

High-elevation fire surveillance infrastructure is prominent, anchored by the Lookout Tower on Little Bald Mountain and the distant Raven Roost Lookout. The map traces an extensive network of pack routes, including the West Pack Trail, which navigates steep terrain across Fifes Ridge and American Ridge. These trails, alongside features like Soda Springs and Flat Iron Lake, document the traditional accessibility of this wilderness for forest rangers and travelers before more modern access roads were fully developed.
