Antique Lake Tahoe, California 1955 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Tahoe Valley, Al Tahoe, Bijou, Stateline, Zephyr Cove, Nevada CA
Beautiful, antique map of Lake Tahoe, California & Nevada and surrounding Placer County, El Dorado County, Ormsey County & Douglas County areas. This is an authentic 1955 edition, 1966 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what Lake Tahoe looked like more than 65 years ago. 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!
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.
Edition of 1955, printed 1966
Dimensions: 17" width x 21" height
