1966 Map of Mt. Wilson

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Mount Wilson Observatory stands prominently atop the peaks of the Angeles National Forest, overlooking a rapidly expanding mid-century suburban corridor. This era in the San Gabriel Valley is defined by dense residential development pressing against the steep mountain front, where the corporate boundaries of Pasadena, Sierra Madre, and Arcadia converge. The landscape reveals a transition from the scientific and recreational heights of Mt Wilson and the historic Mt Lowe Railway to the civic infrastructure of the valley floor.
