1.       The name of the quadrangle is Beverly Hills quadrangle.

2.       The names of the adjacent quadrangles are: Canoga Park; Van Nuys; Burbank; Topanga; Hollywood; name missing (Pacific Ocean); Venice; Inglewood.

3.       The map was first completed in 1966.

4.       North American Datum 1927 and 1983; National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929.

5.       The scale of the map is 1:24000.

6.       A) 5 cm on map = 5 * 24 000 cm = 120 000 cm = 1200 m = 1.200 km

B) 5 in on map = 5 * 24 000 in = 120 000 in; 120 000 / 12 = 10000 ft; 10 000 / 5280 = 1.894 miles

C) 1 mile on ground = 5280 ft; 5280 * 12 = 63 360 in; 63 360 / 24 000 = 2.64 in on map

D) 3 km on ground = 30 000 cm; 30 000 / 24 000 = 1.25 cm on map

7.       The contour interval on the map is 20 feet.

8.       A) 34^o 03’ 54’’ N; 118^o 26’ 36’’ W  or  34.065009^o N; 118.443^o W

B) 34^o 00’ 31’’ N; 118^o 29’ 52’’ W  or  34.008611^o N; 118.497^o W

C) 34^o 07’ 12’’ N; 118^o 24’ 39’’ W  or34.120008^o N; 118.411^o W

9.       A) 581 ft. ; 177 m

B) 141 ft. ; 43 m

C) 636 ft. ; 194 m

10.   It is the UTM zone 11.

11.   The UTM coordinates for the bottom left corner of the map are 3763000 northing; 361500 easting.

12.   There is 1 km² in each square, or 1,000,000 m².

13.  

14.   The magnetic declination of the map is 14^o.

15.   The water flows South, since the elevation given by the Contour lines is decreasing.
