About this map

Palomar Observatory sits atop the high plateau of Palomar Mountain, world-famous for the massive Hale Telescope (200-inch) and its neighboring 48-inch Telescope and 18-inch Telescope installations. This mid-century survey reveals the specialized infrastructure supporting the high-altitude research site, including the winding Observatory Road and a network of fire-lookout access points like High Point BM 6140.
