About this map

South Lake Tahoe and the southwestern shores of Lake Tahoe undergo significant expansion in this mid-century record, as indicated by purple revisions showing urban growth. The map illustrates the transition from seasonal lakeside retreats like Camp Richardson and Tallac Village to more permanent residential footprints near Tahoe Valley. The landscape is dominated by glacial features, from the iconic Fannette Island in Emerald Bay to the high-elevation cirques of the Desolation Wilderness.
