Lake Tahoe CA California Emerald Bay Aerial View 1955 Chrome Postcard Used

This vintage postcard image is a view of Emerald Bay on the southwest shore of Lake Tahoe, California.

Emerald Bay is a National Natural Landmark within Emerald Bay State Park.
Fannette Island, visible in the center of the bay, is Lake Tahoe's only island.
The area was formed by glacial carving during the Ice Ages.
The water's distinct blue-green color is due to its depth, clarity, and the surrounding granite.
