2018 Map of Tahoe City

About this map

The northwest shore of Lake Tahoe serves as the focal point of this 2018 survey, where the Truckee River begins its descent from the lake at the iconic Fanny Bridge. This corridor is defined by the established communities of Tahoe City and Sunnyside-Tahoe City, which transition quickly into the steep terrain of the Tahoe National Forest. The map illustrates a landscape heavily utilized for recreation and conservation, featuring a dense network of trails such as the Tahoe Rim Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. Significant peaks like Mt Watson and Mt Pluto stand over high-elevation basins like Antone Meadows and Watson Lake. To the west, the map details the valleys and ridges surrounding the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows areas, including prominent summits like Scott Peak and Ward Peak, providing a clear record of the modern geography and developed infrastructure of this Placer County region.
