1893 Map of Markleeville

About this map

Markleeville and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of Alpine and Douglas counties are documented here in a detailed survey from the late nineteenth century. The map captures the rugged boundary where the Sierra Nevada range meets the Carson Valley, highlighting early outposts like Walleys Hot Springs, Woodfords, and the now-historic mining site of Silver Mountain. The landscape is a network of steep passes and high peaks, including Freel Peak and Jobs Peak, alongside crucial high-country waters such as Blue Lakes and the southern reaches of Lake Tahoe.
