1955 Map of Marlette Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Lake Tahoe dominates the western half of this survey, where the Nevada-California boundary intersects the shoreline at Stateline Pt. The eastern shore transitions from the emerging residential footprint of Incline Village and Crystal Bay to the protected wildlands of Toiyabe National Forest. This 1955 map, revised in 1969, captures a pivotal moment when seasonal recreation and infrastructure began to define the basin's development. Notable utility and community landmarks include the Incline Guard Sta, a Sewage Disposal site, and the Incline Golf Course. High above the main lake, Marlette Lake and the Marlette Reservoir sit in a high basin between Marlette Peak and Snow Valley Peak, connected to the lower elevations by an aqueduct and a tunnel. This water system, historically vital for silver mining operations in nearby districts, remains a prominent engineering feature on the landscape.
