2015 Map of Canoga Park

About this map

The Los Angeles River serves as the hydrological spine for this portion of the San Fernando Valley, winding through a landscape transitioning from the dense suburban grids of Canoga Park and Winnetka toward the steep slopes of the Santa Monica Mountains. The map illustrates a highly developed educational and infrastructure corridor, featuring major institutions like California State University-Northridge and Los Angeles Pierce College. Transit patterns are clearly defined by the Orange Line Busway and major thoroughfares such as Ventura Blvd and Mulholland Dr. To the south, the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and the Sepulveda Flood Control Basin provide significant open space, contrasting with the residential intensity of Woodland Hills and Tarzana. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the Chatsworth Reservoir and Encino Reservoir positioned along the valley's edges.
