USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Lick Observatory (University of California) crowns the summit of Mt Hamilton in this detailed mid-century survey of the Diablo Range. The map illustrates the complex network of telescopes and support structures atop Copernicus Peak, including various water tanks and reservoirs essential for the remote facility's operations. The landscape drops sharply into the surrounding canyons and valleys, showing the winding ascent of Mt Hamilton Road as it snakes through Cañada de Pala and past the Smith Creek Ranger Sta.
