About this map

Lick Observatory (University of California) crowns the summit of Mt Hamilton, marking a significant scientific presence in the Diablo Range during the mid-1950s. The map details the complex terrain surrounding Copernicus Peak, where a Lookout Tower and various water tanks supported the remote scientific outpost. Below the peaks, the landscape is defined by deep valleys and historic land grant boundaries, including Pueblo Lands of San Jose and Los Huecos.
