Title : Lake Tahoe, California August, 1997

Caption :

Lake Tahoe, California August, 1997 This south-southeast-looking low-oblique synoptic view shows the Lake Tahoe area. Except for the higher steeper peaks of the Sierra Nevada, forests cover most of the right half (western portion) of the image. One of the deepest lakes in North America, Lake Tahoe is visible just to the right of the center of the image. Just east (left) of Lake Tahoe is Lake Washoe. Just to the south of Lake Washoe and barely discernible on the image is the capitol city of Nevada, Carson City. To the south of Carson City and to the south-southeast of Lake Tahoe is the fertile Carson Valley. To the north of Lake Washoe, the cities of Reno and Sparks can be viewed at the bottom left of the image
