1896 Map of Pyramid Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

Lake Tahoe and its surrounding Sierra Nevada summits dominate this late nineteenth-century survey, conducted by A.H. Thompson and R.H. McKee. The landscape is a complex network of high-altitude basins and river forks, including the South Fork American River and the Rubicon River. Distinctive landmarks such as Lovers Leap and Pyramid Peak rise above early pioneer infrastructure, where names like Uncle Toms Cabin and Slippery Ford indicate the early routes and waypoints used by travelers and miners.
