1955 Map of Tahoe

About this map

Tahoe City and the northwestern shores of Lake Tahoe are captured here in the mid-1950s, showing a landscape defined by seasonal recreation and lakeside settlements before the massive expansion of the modern era. The map traces the rugged Western Shore through communities like Homewood, Tahoe Pines, and Sunnyside, where the influence of early lodge-based tourism is evident at Chambers Lodge and the historic Tahoe Tavern. Further north, Kings Beach and Brockway mark the transition toward the Nevada border at Stateline Point.
