1896 Map of Pyramid Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1923

About this map

Lake Tahoe and its southwestern alpine surroundings dominate this late nineteenth-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by early mountain resorts and timber extraction. The area near Emerald Bay and Fallen Leaf Lake shows established points like Tallac and Yanks, while the higher elevations are marked by remote outposts such as Uncle Toms Cabin and the restorative Glen Alpine Springs. The presence of Tarrs Saw Mill and several numbered outposts like Ditch Camp 7 and Ditch Camp 10 along the South Fork American River indicates the active management of water and wood resources during this era of development.
