1955 Map of Lick Observatory

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Mt Hamilton serves as the focal point of this mid-century topographic study, dominated by the scientific infrastructure of the Lick Observatory. The map details the precise locations of the 120-inch Telescope, the Crossley Reflector, and the primary Observatory Building at the summit. Winding access via Mt Hamilton Road connects these heights to the varied terrain below, where the high-altitude peaks of Copernicus Peak contrast with the low-lying reaches of Halls Valley and San Felipe Valley.
