About this map

Beverly Hills and the surrounding Westside neighborhoods of Los Angeles are depicted here during a period of dense urban maturity. The map highlights the concentration of the global entertainment industry, featuring the sprawling grounds of Twentieth Century Fox Studios, MGM Studios, and Desilu Studios. This cultural landscape is further anchored by the University of California - Los Angeles campus and the adjacent Westwood Village, illustrating the area's role as a major academic and commercial hub.

From the coastal edge at Santa Monica, where the Santa Monica Pier and Santa Monica Looff Hippodrome mark the shoreline, the terrain rises into the Santa Monica Mountains. This transition is defined by a series of residential canyons, including Benedict Canyon and Coldwater Canyon, which surround vital water infrastructure like the Stone Canyon Reservoir and Franklin Canyon Reservoir. The layout of major thoroughfares such as Wilshire Blvd and Santa Monica Blvd provides a clear view of the transportation arteries connecting these diverse hillside and basin communities.
