1979 Map of Kitt Peak

About this map

The Kitt Peak National Observatory dominates the high ground within the Papago Indian Reservation, housing a significant concentration of scientific infrastructure in the late 1970s. The summit is meticulously detailed with facilities including the Steward Observatory, the McMath Solar Telescope, and the Mayall Telescope (158 Inch), alongside a Heliport and a Radio Telescope. This landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of the Quinlan Mountains and Coyote Mountains, dropping into the Alambre Valley.
