2012 Map of Truckee

About this map

Truckee serves as the central hub of this mountain corridor, where the Union Pacific Railroad and the Truckee River trace the valley floor toward Polaris. The landscape is defined by its recreation and infrastructure, from the Truckee-Tahoe Airport on the eastern flats to the Ponderosa Golf Course and Jim McIvers Memorial Arena near the town center. Local history is anchored by the Truckee Cemetery and the Murphy Cabin site near the eastern shore of Donner Lake. To the north, the Prosser Creek Reservoir and settlements like Prosser Lake Heights sit among the ridges of Prosser Hill. The southern reaches transition into timber and meadow lands, marked by the Old Schaeffer Mill and Old Schaeffer Camp along Martis Creek, illustrating the area's move from industrial logging roots toward a modern residential and alpine destination.
