Hoffmann and published at San Francisco in 1874, during the booming Comstock years, when silver brought miners, ore wagons, and the first railroads into the mining towns east of the lake, then among the busiest in the West.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo inset views show Lake Tahoe and Donner Lake, while the sheet takes in the Truckee River, the mountain passes, and the silver towns of Virginia City, Carson City, and Reno. The Central Pacific line runs across the top, with steamships and lakeside inns marking Tahoe as an early getaway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis map stands as a testament to the silver-era Sierra, offering a window into Lake Tahoe as an early mountain retreat, when steamers still ran the lake. One of the most picturesque old maps of the West, it brings a crisp, high-country freshness to any living room, office, or study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"18x24 Inch","offer_id":67885401768125,"sku":"ENMAP0866_1824L","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x30 Inch","offer_id":67885401800893,"sku":"ENMAP0866_2430L","price":82.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/1BhpCVP7NILgB1nzu2wofdoPQmhivAQTs_w1000.jpg?v=1792744264","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1874-lake-tahoe-topographic-survey-map","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
