1896 Map of Pyramid Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Lake Tahoe anchors the northeast corner of this late nineteenth-century survey, a landscape of granite summits and high alpine basins before the era of modern development. The map reveals a rugged backcountry network of early settlements and waypoints like Uncle Toms Cabin, Georgetown Junction, and Glen Alpine Springs. The terrain is defined by the sharp Great Basin Pacific Basin divide, which separates the waters flowing toward the Nevada desert from those feeding the Pacific.
