In this fine westward view, Lake Tahoe (center) and Pyramid Lake (north) are the large, deep blue lakes; the curving Lahontan Lake and larger Carson Sink are the shallower, light green, ephemeral lakes in the foreground. Lahontan and Carson Sink are remnants of a far more extensive Lake Lahontan, which covered much of easternmost California, Nevada and beyond during the Pleistocene ice age. Sutter Creek, where the discovery of gold in 1849 triggered the stampede to California, is in the top of the frame in the second major drainage south of chevron-shaped Folsom Lake. When the great granite masses were intruded into the region of the Sierra Nevada about 100 million years ago, gold was concentrated in lode deposits; nuggets, eroded from veins and pods and carried down the streams draining the Sierra, are sometimes found in placer deposits along present and past drainages.
