1939 Map of Palomar Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Observatory stands as a focal point atop Palomar Mountain, overlooking a landscape defined by significant tribal lands and national forest territory. This survey detail reveals the spatial relationship between the Mission Indian Reserve, Pauma Indian Res, and the Rincon Indian Reservation along the San Luis Rey River. These reservations sit adjacent to the dense slopes of the Cleveland National Forest, where steep canyons like Nigger Canyon and high points such as Boucher Hill dominate the topography.
