2012 Map of Kings Beach

About this map

Kings Beach and the surrounding north shore of Lake Tahoe appear in this 2012 survey as a corridor of recreational and residential development at the California-Nevada border. This area includes the distinct lakefront communities of Tahoe Vista, Brockway, and Carnelian Bay, where the shoreline is defined by points and coves like Flick Point and Agate Bay. The map provides a clear view of the transition from the lakeside settlements to the rising timberland above, marked by forest service roads such as 16n74 and 16n63. To the west, Lake Forest and the Lake Forest Campground sit near Dollar Point, indicating the seasonal tourism economy that has long shaped the region. Local infrastructure such as the Dollar Reservoir and the Tahoe Nordic center further illustrate the land use patterns focused on managing water resources and winter recreation along the Sierra Nevada slopes.
