About this map

Lake Tahoe dominates the eastern boundary of this mid-century topographic survey, where the glacial carving of Emerald Bay and Fallen Leaf Lake defines the local landscape. This era marks a significant period of recreational development along the southwest shore, evidenced by established settlements like Camp Richardson and Tallac Village. The map captures the specialized architecture of Vikingsholm and the historic accessibility of Glen Alpine Spring, illustrating how the region's wilderness was being navigated and settled for leisure.
