About this map

Incline Village sits at the base of the high Sierra Nevada, marking a period of rapid development along the north shore of Lake Tahoe. This survey, updated with revisions from 1980, captures the early infrastructure of the resort community, including Incline High Sch and a local Trailer Park. The terrain is dominated by the Toiyabe National Forest, where steep ridgelines connect prominent peaks such as Mt Rose and Slide Mountain.

Evidence of the area's recreational and industrial evolution is visible in the presence of a Tramway, several Ski Lifts, and the Mt Rose Campground. To the north, isolated prospects near Whites Canyon hint at earlier resource exploration, while high-altitude water bodies like Incline Lake and Tamarack Lake drain into the complex network of creeks, including First Creek, Second Creek, and Third Creek, that flow toward the Tahoe basin.
