Tahoe Keys, South end of Lake Tahoe aerial view, looking South, 1965

Caption on image: Here's a view of the shallow area at the South end of the Lake. The Upper Truckee and Trout Creek have been depositing silt in the South end of the Lake for thousands of years. There is no way to keep this from happening, but we do not have to accelerate the process by careless construction and poor drainage practices. Photograph taken May 14, 1965. This image is part of the Lake Tahoe Area Council photograph collection. The Council was a private, non-political and non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and orderly development of the Lake Tahoe Basin. It sought cooperation between private land owners and governmental agencies to solve basin-wide problems of planning, land use, park and recreation development, pollution control and soil conservation.
