1896 Map of Pyramid Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

Pyramid Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-altitude landscape of the Sierra Nevada, overlooking a network of alpine lakes and early immigrant routes. At the turn of the century, the region supported a mix of early tourism and seasonal industry, seen in the presence of Glen Alpine Springs and Tallac near the shores of Lake Tahoe. The terrain is marked by significant historical waypoints such as Slippery Ford along the South Fork American River and the high-mountain outposts of Yanks and Uncle Toms Cabin.
