Antique Lake Tahoe, California 1896 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Douglas, Eldorado, Alpine County, order Nevada, Markleeville, Carson NV

Beautiful, antique map of order Markleeville & Lake Tahoe, California & Nevada and surrounding Douglas, Eldorado, Mono & Alpine County area. This is an authentic 1896 edition, 1905 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what California looked like more than 125 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! At some point the map was canvas-backed and split into quadrangles, perhaps for field work.

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 1896, printed 1905

Dimensions: 14" width x 17 1/2" height
