The contemporary map is made from enhanced satellite imagery and a digital sonar scanning revealing the actual landscape under the lake water. This makes a wonderful contrast to the old antique 1876 Lake Tahoe Map and reveals how amazingly accurate the vintage map is. The lake is so big that even after climbing the highest peaks around the lake you can not tell the shape and contour of the shoreline and lake. That can only be seen from space, miles high. The 1876 Wheeler survey crew would have to be extremely proud of their accomplishment and skills.
