About this map

Lake Tahoe dominates this survey, with the western shoreline of El Dorado County and Placer County revealed through a thin strip of terrestrial detail. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the water's edge into the protected lands of the Eldorado National Forest, where the General Creek Trail follows the path of General Creek into the interior. Small residential clusters and recreational areas are anchored by Emerald Bay Road, which serves as the primary artery connecting the various waterfront enclaves.

Local settlements like Tahoma, Meeks Bay, and Paradise Flat are tightly constrained between the shoreline and the forest boundary. Topographic detail highlights distinctive features such as Sugar Pine Point and the protected waters of Rubicon Bay. This 2021 mapping provides a precise record of late-modern infrastructure and land-use patterns along this section of the Tahoe Basin, where the county line and the state border with Nevada intersect over open water.
