A. Lake Tahoe Sierra Association Tahoe City, California, by Gerald A. Eddy, circa 1945 (22.4 x 17.2"). This very attractive and detailed bird's-eye view depicts the Lake Tahoe region, extending to Truckee, Reno, and Carson City. The rugged topography of the region is presented with a three-dimensional quality and locates ski areas, golf courses, mountain peaks, and the road network to access these features. Text beneath the title further entices the reader, indicating the region has "no poison oak, no rattlesnakes, no harmful insects." The verso contains related text, illustrations, and two small maps. Published by the Lake Tahoe Sierra Association. Self-folding into pictorial wrappers (4.0 x 9.0"). Condition: Issued folding with one tiny area of loss at a fold junction. (B+)

B. Lake Tahoe California-Nevada, by Lake Tahoe Co., dated 1930 (14.8 x 7.9"). This promotional map also published by the Lake Tahoe Sierra Association is centered on Lake Tahoe and identifies numerous businesses along the shore, roads, railroads, peaks, and more. Printed in blue ink. The verso contains related text and a listing of hotels/resorts in the region. Self-folding into pictorial paper wrappers (3.9 x 9.0"). Condition: Issued folding. (A)
