Lake Tahoe Hand-Drawn Map

This 24” x 18” unframed lithographic art print features an original hand-illustrated map of Lake Tahoe, created in pen and ink with watercolor by Xplorer Maps artist Chris Robitaille.

Straddling the California–Nevada border in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Lake Tahoe is renowned for its crystal-clear alpine waters, dramatic granite peaks, and year-round recreation. The map captures the lake’s deep blue basin surrounded by forested slopes, ski resorts, scenic highways, and mountain towns that define this iconic destination.

Intricate illustrations highlight Tahoe’s outdoor culture — from boating and paddleboarding in summer to skiing and snowboarding in winter. Notable landmarks, beaches, and charming communities around the shoreline are woven into the composition, reflecting the region’s balance of wilderness and alpine lifestyle.

The surrounding mountains, including peaks in the Desolation Wilderness and along the Tahoe Rim Trail, frame the lake’s remarkable clarity and depth — the largest alpine lake in North America.

Blending cartographic precision with artistic storytelling, this piece celebrates Lake Tahoe’s natural beauty, recreation, and enduring mountain spirit.
