2. The surrounding quadrangles include Canoga Park, Van Nuys, Burbank, Topanga, Hollywood, Venice and Inglewood.
3. This quadrangle was first created in 1995
4. The Datum used to create this map is NAD 27 and NAD 83
5. The scale of the map is 1:24,000
6. At the above scale
1. 5 centimeters on the map is equivalent to1200 meters on the ground
2. Every 5 inches on the map is equivalent to 1.8939393939 miles
3. Every mile on the ground is equivalent to 2.64 inches on the map
4. Three kilometers on the ground is equivalent to 12.51 centimeters on the map
7. The contour interval on the map is 20 feet.
8. The approximate geographic coordinates in both degrees/minutes/seconds and decimal degrees of:
1. The Public Affairs Building: 34 d 4’ 20’’N, 118d 26’30’’W; 34.075N, 188.443
2. The Tip of the Pier: 34d 0’ 27’’N, 118d 30’ 00’’ W; 34.0075 N, 118.5W
3. Upper Franklin Canyon Reservoir: 34d 7’ 0’’N, 188d 24’ 30’’; 34.117N, 118.406W

10. The UTM zone is 11
11. The UTM coordinates for the lower left corner of the map are 3763000N, 361500E
12. There are 1,000,000 Square Meters in each square of the UTM gridlines
13. Obtain elevation measurements, from west to east along the UTM northing 3771000, where the eastings of the UTM grid intersect the northing. Create an elevation profile using these measurements in Excel (hint: create a line chart). Figure out how to label the elevation values to the two measurements on campus.
