1955 Map of Fallen Leaf Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

El Dorado County backcountry near the southwestern shores of Lake Tahoe is meticulously charted in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal camps and steep granite ascents. The eastern half of the map shows established settlements like Tallac Village and Camp Richardson alongside the recreational infrastructure of Emerald Bay State Park and D L Bliss State Park. These areas of human activity contrast sharply with the remote interior of the Crystal Range, where high-elevation landmarks like Pyramid Peak and Dicks Peak tower over the Desolation Valley wilderness. The map documents a transition in local life, recording legacy sites like Celio Ranch and Lyons alongside a growing network of Boy Scout and municipal camps. Important transit markers including U.S. 50, the Vade PO, and Angora Lookout provide specific reference points for researchers tracing the historical development of the Tahoe basin.
