About this map

The turquoise waters of Lake Tahoe dominate the northern extent of this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal recreation and conservation. Along the shore of Emerald Bay, the notable Vikingsholm estate stands near Fannette Island, while the surrounding terrain is protected within D L Bliss State Park and Emerald Bay State Park. To the south, the deep basin of Fallen Leaf Lake is framed by the steep ascent of Mt Tallac and Cathedral Peak, illustrating the dramatic glaciated topography of the Sierra Nevada.
