1.)        The quadrangle is The Beverly Hills Quadrangle.

2.)        The adjacent quadrangles are as follows: Canoga Park, Van Nuys, Burbank, Topanga, Hollywood, Venice, and Inglewood.

3.)        This quadrangle was first created with topography compiled in 1966.

4.)        It was created using the National Geodetic Vertical Datum.

5.)        The scale is 1:24 000

6.)        At given scale:

            a.)        5cm=1200 m

            b.)        5in=1.894 mi

            c.)        1mi= 2.64 in

            d.)        3km= 12.5 cm

7.)        The contour interval is 20 feet.

8.)        Approximate geographic coordinates in degrees/minutes/seconds and decimal degrees of:

            a.)        the Public Affairs Building-                            34˚/4’22’’N, 118˚/26’24’’W and                                                                                                        34.073˚, -118.440˚

            b.)        the tip of Santa Monica pier-                         34˚/0’7.5’’N, 118˚/29’40’’W and                                                                                                       34.002˚, -118.494

            c.)        the Upper Franklin Canyon Reservoir-          34˚/7’12’’N, 118˚/24’36’’W and

                                                                                                34.120, -118.410

9.)        use Google maps; take midpoint

            a.)        Greystone Mansion (in Greystone Park)-     570 ft./170.736m

            b.)        Woodlawn Cemetery-                                     140ft./42.672m

            c.)        Crestwood Hills Park-                                                660ft./201.17m

10.)      The map is in UTM Zone 11.

11.)      The coordinates are 362000 east, 3763000m north in the bottom left corner.

12.)      Each cell of the UTM gridline contains 1000000m².

13.)      

14.)      The magnetic declination is 14˚

15.)      The intermittent stream flows North to South
