Antique Lake Tahoe, California 1889 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Douglas, Eldorado, Alpine County, Nevada, Markleeville, Carson NV

Beautiful, antique map of Markleeville & Lake Tahoe, California & Nevada and surrounding Douglas, Eldorado, Mono & Alpine County area. This is an authentic 1889 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what California looked like more than 130 years ago in the late 1800s. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! This is one of the rare maps with the map legend on the front.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as this make great gifts.
