1955 Map of Marlette Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The eastern shores of Lake Tahoe define this mid-1950s survey, highlighting the critical alpine water infrastructure supporting Nevada's historical mining regions. The Virginia City Water Supply Flume and a general Water Supply Flume trace the steep contours of the Toiyabe National Forest, connecting high-elevation sources like Marlette Lake and Marlette Reservoir to distant communities. This system of flumes and siphons represents a significant engineering feat of the Comstock era, designed to move water across the Sierra Nevada.
