Week 2 Lab: Topographic Maps

1. This is a map of the Beverly Hills quadrangle.
2. The adjoining quadrangles are Canoga Park, Van Nuys, Burbank, Topanga, Hollywood, Venice and Inglewood.
3. The quadrangle was created in 1995.
4. The national geodetic vertical datum of 1929 was used to make the map.
5. The scale is 1:24,000.
6. At the above scale:
1. 5 centimeters x 24,000 / 100 = 1,200 meters
2. 5 inches x 24,000 / 63,360 inches (1 mile) = 1.894 miles
3. 1 mile = 63,360 inches / 24,000  = 2.64 inches
4. 3 km = 300,000 cm / 24,000 = 12.5 cm
7. Contour interval = 20 feet
