About this map

Incline Village serves as the residential anchor for this high-altitude landscape, featuring a detailed street grid including Northwood Blvd and Fairview Dr. The settlement is closely integrated with educational and recreational landmarks like Sierra Nevada College, Incline High Sch, and the nearby Diamond Peak Ski Resort. This 1992 revision highlights the area's transition into a premier alpine destination, balanced between developed residential pockets and the expansive Mount Rose Wilderness.

Beyond the village, the terrain rises sharply toward the Carson Range, dominated by peaks such as Mount Rose, Slide Mountain, and Mount Houghton. The map documents a network of high-elevation recreation, from the Mount Rose Ski Area and Sky Tavern Ski Area to the remote Mount Rose Campground. Strategic infrastructure, including a Tramway and several Radio Tower sites near the summits, underscores the area's role in regional communication and transportation above the Lake Tahoe basin.
