Continua a leggerePublished by the United States Geological Survey with the original title “Mt. Rose,” this 1:24,000 topographical map presents the high country above Lake Tahoe with survey data from 1968 and a later 1983 imprint. Centered on the dramatic rise of Mt. Rose and the resort community of Incline Village, it captures a landscape poised between alpine wilderness and expanding recreation. The map’s careful contouring reveals the steep, folded terrain typical of the Sierra Nevada and Carson Range, where ridges descend toward Lake Tahoe and creeks cut through forested slopes. As a historical view, it preserves Incline Village and its surroundings at a formative moment, before later decades of development, environmental regulation, and resort expansion further reshaped the Tahoe basin.
The USGS brought to this map the precision and authority that made its quadrangles indispensable to planners, scientists, hikers, engineers, and land managers. Since the late nineteenth century, the agency’s topographic program has created a national framework for understanding elevation, drainage, settlement, and access across the United States. In “Mt. Rose,” that mission is evident in the disciplined combination of contour lines, hydrography, roads, forest boundaries, and place names. The map is both practical and quietly elegant: a technical document that transforms complex mountain geography into an intelligible visual field. Its scale allows intimate detail, making individual creeks, grades, summits, and valley forms legible within the broader architecture of the Tahoe highlands.
The design uses the familiar USGS topographic language of layered relief, with greens and browns distinguishing vegetation, elevation, and landform. Around Mt. Rose, Diamond Peak, and Mount Tumtum, the contour lines tighten and curl, giving the viewer an immediate sense of rugged ascent and the sculptural character of the terrain. Incline Creek and Galena Creek trace natural corridors through the mountains, while the East Fork of the Carson River situates the area within the larger hydrological systems draining the eastern Sierra. The map’s visual rhythm is one of ridges and basins, open slopes and forested margins, revealing how geology, water, and elevation governed both travel routes and settlement patterns.
Incline Village occupies a particularly compelling place on the map, set along the Nevada shore of Lake Tahoe and backed by steep mountain terrain. Known today for lakefront estates, ski access, and resort culture, the community appears here in a period when Tahoe’s modern identity was still being consolidated. Nearby features such as Diamond Peak, Kingsbury Grade, Zephyr Cove, Stateline, Spooner Lake, and Marlette Lake evoke the region’s blend of recreation, transportation, and water-resource history. The map suggests the tension that has long defined Tahoe: the desire to inhabit and enjoy a spectacular alpine lake, and the need to protect a fragile watershed whose clarity and beauty depend on careful stewardship.
Viewed historically, “Mt. Rose” is a portrait of transition. The 1968 survey data records the area before many later changes in land use, environmental management, and recreational infrastructure became fully established, while the 1983 imprint places it amid a period of growing awareness about Tahoe’s ecological vulnerability. Northstar-at-Tahoe, the Mount Rose high country, Tahoe National Forest lands, and the broader network of ski areas, trails, roads, and lakes illustrate how the region became one of the American West’s iconic outdoor landscapes. For collectors, the map offers more than geographic information: it is a finely detailed record of Nevada and California mountain country at the intersection of wilderness, resort development, and scientific cartography.

Looking for a particular place? Review the detailed images to confirm that the town, landmark or feature you have in mind appears on the map. If you are unsure, ask our workshop to check before you order.
Detailed maps are especially rewarding at larger sizes, where names, boundaries and decorative features have more room to be appreciated. Use the close-up preview and size guide to choose the right scale for your wall.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 50in (125cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40x50cm) version of this map.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, mark one meaningful place, or request one considered visual detail. See personalised map examples.
Every piece is printed to museum-grade archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte paper. Choose an unframed map print, framed map or canvas using the finish options above. Framed maps use crystal-clear optical acrylic and arrive ready to hang.
With its rich detail and strong sense of place, this map makes a considered gift for a new home, anniversary, retirement or anyone with a personal connection to the area shown. Still deciding? Explore our collection of rare old and vintage maps to discover another place, period or style.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.
Every Unique Maps piece begins with an authentic cartographic source or an original design from our London studio.
For our historic maps, we source rare originals from libraries, archives, auction houses and private collections around the world. We carefully restore each map for print—repairing age-related damage, balancing colour and improving clarity while preserving its original detail, texture and character.
Once restored, the map is prepared for your chosen size and finish. Your piece is then printed and, where selected, framed close to its delivery destination.
Our map prints use acid-free 200gsm archival matte paper and fade-resistant pigment inks, creating a rich, non-glossy finish designed to last. Framed maps use crystal-clear optical acrylic and arrive ready to hang.
Canvas, cotton-rag and other specialist presentations are also available. Learn more about our materials and finishes.
Personalising your map
You can add a short title or dedication, mark one meaningful place, or request one considered visual detail. For personalised designs, we send a proof before printing and you can request changes before approval.
For more complex bespoke commissions, contact our design team.
Original or Aged
