1956 Map of Freel Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Lake Tahoe anchors this mid-century survey of the high Sierras and the Carson Valley, documenting a period of rapid recreational expansion. The South Shore is shown transitioning into a significant hub, with Stateline, Bijou Park, and Al Tahoe lining the waterfront while Heavenly Valley Ski Lodge marks the early footprint of the alpine sports industry. The map captures the complex administrative landscape of the era, including the Nevada California Boundary Line and the historic Von Schmidt Line, which delineate the high-altitude forests of the Toiyabe National Forest and Eldorado National Forest.
