1955 Map of Fallen Leaf Lake

About this map

Emerald Bay State Park and the rugged southwestern shores of Lake Tahoe define this mid-century survey. The landscape is dotted with early resort and recreational infrastructure, including Tallac Village, Camp Richardson, and several organizational retreats such as the Berkeley Municipal Camp and Camp Sacramento. In the high country to the west, the map details the vast wilderness of the Eldorado National Forest, revealing a network of alpine lakes like Lake Schmidell and Wrights Lake before modern road expansions altered the backcountry access.
