1955 Map of Tahoe City

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Tahoe City serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the northwest outlet of Lake Tahoe where the Truckee River begins its descent. The map illustrates the early recreational and residential development of the shoreline, featuring the landmark Tahoe Tavern and the Tahoe City Golf Course alongside civic foundations like the Tahoe Lake Sch and local Cem. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada, including Mt Pluto, Mt Watson, and Ward Peak, which frame the deep glacial troughs of Squaw Valley and the surrounding Tahoe National Forest.
