About this map

Burbank and the surrounding San Fernando Valley are defined by a dense urban grid that meets the sharp rising slopes of the Verdugo Mountains. This 2018 survey illustrates the complex intersection of major transportation corridors and municipal boundaries, where the Golden State Fwy and Burbank Western Channel slice through the heart of the city. Significant open spaces and cultural landmarks are prominently featured, including the sprawling Forest Lawn Memorial Park and Mount Sinai Memorial Park nestled near Griffith Park.

In the southern reaches, the map captures the transition into the Santa Monica Mountains, featuring notable landmarks like Mt Lee and Cahuenga Peak. The infrastructure for water management is evident through various flood control features like the Stough Debris Basin and the Hansen Heights Channel. From the commercial hubs of North Hollywood and Universal City to the high ridges of Tongva Peak, the map provides a precise record of the developed and natural interface at the eastern edge of the valley.
