1955 Map of Tahoe City

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Lake Tahoe meets the shoreline at Tahoe City, a central hub in this mid-century survey where the Truckee River begins its journey through the Sierra Nevada. The map documents a landscape of recreation and early Alpine development, featuring the Squaw Valley State Recreation Area and the winding course of Squaw Creek. Settlement patterns are visible in the layout of Sunnyside and the smaller outpost at Rampart, while the presence of the Tahoe Lake Sch and local Cem ground the area's permanent community history.
