About this map

The western shores of Lake Tahoe are defined here by a dense string of lakeside settlements and alpine recreation sites during the early 21st century. Stretching from Idlewild and Tahoe Pines down through Homewood and Tahoma, the shoreline is a hub of activity featuring the Homewood Seaplane Base and Chambers Lodge. In the interior, the landscape transitions from the developed edge of McKinney Bay into the Sierra Nevada high country, where the Homewood Ski Area and Tahoe Ski Bowl Area occupy the slopes of Knee Ridge.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with the Rubicon River and General Cr draining the western peaks. Genealogists and local historians can trace the network of mountain roads such as Barker Pass Rd and residential enclaves like Tahoma Meadows. The map also identifies numerous high-altitude water bodies, including Richardson Lake, Ellis Lake, and Buck Island Lake, along with landmarks like the Kaspian Picnic Area and Camp Wasiu.
