1896 Map of Pyramid Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

Lake Tahoe anchors the northeast corner of this late 19th-century survey, its southwestern shores dotted with early resorts and landmarks like Tallac and Yanks. The landscape is a complex network of high sierra peaks and deep drainages, including Sayles Canyon and the Strawberry Valley. Human activity is primarily centered on early transportation routes and the extraction of mountain resources, evidenced by Tarrs Saw Mill and a primitive Saw Mill in the southwest.
