1897 Map of Mt. Hamilton

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Lick Observatory stands as the central landmark atop the high ridgelines of the Diablo Range in this 1895 survey of the Santa Clara backcountry. Situated on a prominent peak near Copernicus Pk. and Mt. Isabel, the observatory overlooks a complex network of canyons and high valleys, including the broad Isabel Valley and Halls Valley. This period of California history shows the landscape before modern development, where isolated outposts like Mowry Camp and the ranch lands of Valle de Pala define human presence.
