1955 Map of Homewood

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Lake Tahoe dominates the eastern shoreline of this survey, where the development of the mid-20th century is evident in the residential grids of Tahoma and Homewood. While the lakefront is defined by established communities and seasonal retreats like Chambers Lodge, the high backcountry to the west remains a primitive expanse of the Tahoe National Forest and El Dorado National Forest. These mountains are marked by numerous alpine basins holding Quail Lake, Miller Lake, and Richardson Lake, alongside the steep ascent of Ellis Peak. Historical industrial activity is represented by the Noonchester Mine, while the southern reaches preserve the rugged character of the Desolation Wilderness. The map captures the transition between the growing recreational communities along Mc Kinney Bay and the high Sierra Nevada terrain accessed only by the Deep Trail and various jeep tracks.
