About this map

Lake Tahoe dominates the eastern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where shoreline communities like Homewood and Tahoe Pines serve as gateways to the surrounding wilderness. The terrain rises sharply from the water toward the peaks of the Tahoe National Forest and El Dorado National Forest. Evidence of recreational development is visible in the network of Ski Lifts above MC Kinney Bay and established sites like the Kaspian Campground.

High-country trails, including the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the Granite Chief Wilderness Trail, navigate a complex topography of alpine basins. These basins are dotted with numerous named water bodies such as Miller Lake, Richardson Lake, and Lily Lake. The map also captures the remote Rubicon Springs near the Rubicon River, a site with deep roots in regional travel and early mountain tourism, alongside smaller features like Mines tucked near Knee Ridge.
