1955 Map of Meeks Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Lake Tahoe dominates this mid-century survey, its deep waters reaching a maximum elevation of 6,229 feet along the western shoreline of El Dorado and Placer counties. The narrow strip of developed land between the water and the rising slopes of the Eldorado National Forest is anchored by the community of Tahoma, which appears here as a growing residential grid. Detailed bathymetric contours reveal the underwater shelf and sudden drop-offs of the lake, particularly near the mouth of Meeks Bay, while the shoreline is marked by prominent landmarks like Sugar Pine Point. This map provides a clear record of the early recreational development and land management boundaries before the significant expansion of the late 20th century.
