1943 Map of Mt. Hamilton

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Lick Observatory stands as the crowning landmark of this high-elevation landscape, situated atop Mt Hamilton and reached by the winding Lick Road. Surveyed just before the mid-century, the map reveals a rugged interior of the Diablo Range where large-scale ranching dominated the terrain. From the Evergreen Ranch in the west to the Fisher Homestead in the east, family holdings were scattered across a complex network of ridges like Valpe Ridge and Poverty Ridge.
