1. The name of the quadrangle is "Beverly Hills" located in California, Los Angeles

2. The names of the adjacent quadrangles are: Canoga Park, Van Nuys, Burbank, Topanga, Hollywood, Venice and Inglewood.

3. The quadrangle was first created in 1966

4. The datum used to create this map is:

Vertical datum: North American datum of 1927

Horizontal datum: North American datum of 1983

5. The scale of the map is 1:24000

6. a) 1cm on the map is 24000cm or 240m on the ground. Therefore, 5cm is 240*5 = 1200m

b) 5 inches is 120000 inches on the ground or 120000/63360 = 1.89 miles

c) 1 mile or 63360 inches on the ground is 63360/24000 = 2.64 inches on the map

d) 3 km or 300000cm on the ground is 300000/24000 = 12.5 cm on the map

7. The contour interval is 20 feet

8. a) Public affais building: 34 degrees, 4'40''N and 118 degrees, 26'25'' W or 34.078 degrees N, 118.44 degrees W

b) Santa Monica Pier: 34 degrees, 0'30''N, and 118 degrees, 30'0''W or 34.01 degrees N, 118.5 degrees W

c) Upper Franklin Canyon reservoir: 34 degrees, 7'0'' N and 118 degrees, 24'30'' W or 34.12 degrees N and 118.408 degrees W

9) a) Greystone Mansion: 520 feet

b) Woodlawn cementary: 140 feet

c) Crestwood Hills Park: 700 feet

10) The UTM zone of this map is 11

11) The UTM coordinates for the lower left corner of the map is 3762800 N 361500 W

12) We know that we get a 1000 meter increment as we change UTM grid lines one by one for both the latitude and the longitude. Therefore, the area of the lower left corner will be:

(3764000-3762800)*(362000-361500) = 1200*500 = 600000 m^2

13) Attached

14) The magnetic declination is 14 degrees

15) The water flows from North to South

16) Attached
