 2. Names of the adjacent quadrangles: Canoga Park, Van Nuys, Burbank, Topanga, Hollywood, Venice, Inglewood.

 3. Date the quadrangle first created: 1966

 4. Datum used: North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27)
                          North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83)
                          National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929

 5. The scale of the map: 1:24,000

 6. At the scale of 1:24,000:
     a) 5 centimeters on the map is equivalent to 1,200 meters on the ground. 5 cm * 24000 = 120000 cm = 1200 m
     b) 5 inches on the map is equivalent to 1.894 miles on the ground. 5 inches * 24000 = 120000 inches = 1.894 miles
     c) one mile on the ground is equivalent to 2.65 inches on the map. 1 mile * 63360 inches/mile / 24000 = 2.65 inches
     d) three kilometers on the ground is equivalent to 12.5 centimeters on the map. 300000cm / 24000 = 12.5 cm

 7. The contour interval : 20 feet.

 8. The approximate geographic coordinates:
     a) The Public Affairs Building:    34°4'20''N  118°26'10''W or
                                                         34.072°N   118.436°W
     b)The tip of Santa Monica pier: 34°00'33''N  118°29'58''W or

    b) Woodlawn Cemetery: 140 feet 42.67 m
    c) Crestwood Hills Park: 800 feet 243.84 m

10. The UTM zone of the map: Zone 11 S

11. The UTM coordinates for the lower left corner of your map:
       3767000m N, 361500m E

12. 1,000 * 1,000 = 1,000,000 square meters are contained within each cell.

13. The Elevation from West to East of Northing 3771000 on Beverly Hills Quadrangle


14. The magnetic declination of the map: 14 degrees.
