This is the location of Douglas County from Stateline in Lake Tahoe South.
We are again dealing with extreme snow melt because of rising summer temperatures which is creating flooding events during this time in various parts of the Sierras because of 190% to 230% normal snowfall this year. So, if you are traveling in this vicinity expect almost anything during this time from mudslides to flooding to Flash floods especially if you are along the desert Eastern part next to the High Sierra Mountains.

History
Alpine County was created on March 16, 1864, during a silver boom in the wake of the nearby Comstock Lode discovery.[1] It was named because of its resemblance to the Swiss Alps.[6] The County was formed from parts of Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Mono and Tuolumne Counties.[1] At its formation, the County had a population of about 11,000 with its County Seat at Silver Mountain City. By 1868, however, the local silver mines had proven unfruitful; and the population fell to about 1,200. The County Seat was moved to Markleeville in 1875.[1]County Courthouse (1928) in Markleeville

After the silver rush, Alpine County's economy consisted almost entirely of farming, ranching, and logging. By the 1920s, the population had fallen to just 200 people. With the construction of the Bear Valley and Kirkwood ski resorts in the late 1960s, the population increased to the present level.
