  2. From top to bottom, left to right (center omitted): Canoga Park, Van Nuys, Burbank, Topanga, Hollywood, Venice, Inglewood
  3. 1966
  4. North American Datum 1927 for the horizontal and National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929
  5. 1:24,000
  6. (a) (5 cm*24,000)/100 = 1,200 meters
    (b) (5 in*24,000)/63,360 = 1.89 miles
    (c) (1 mi/24,000)*63,360 = 2.64 inches
    (d) (3 km/24,000)*100,000 = 12.5 centimeters
  7. contour interval = 20 feet
  8. using ratios of (2.5' : 22 cm) longitude, (2.5' : 26.5 cm) latitude
    zoom of 125% on pdf
    (a) 118.4394 d = 118 d 26' 22" longitude, 34.0739 d = 34 d 04' 26" latitude
    (b) 118.4991 d = 118 d 29' 57" longitude, 34.0075 d = 34 d 00' 27" latitude
    (c) 118.4567 d = 118 d 27' 24" longitude, 34.1031 d = 34 d 06' 11" latitude
  9. (a) 570 ft = 173.7 m
    (b) 140 ft = 42.7 m
    (c) 760 ft = 231.6 m
  10. UTM zone 11
  11. 361.5 km Easting, Zone 11
  12. 1 square km


  13. Magnetic Declination = 14 d
