About this map

The San Fernando Valley landscape is defined here by the dense residential grids of Canoga Park, Winnetka, and Reseda, where the Los Angeles River begins its course eastward. The transition from the valley floor to the high terrain of the Santa Monica Mountains is marked by the Chalk Hills and the winding route of Us 101 through Woodland Hills. This map documents a modern urban environment where educational institutions like California State University-Northridge and Los Angeles Pierce College anchor large suburban blocks.

Water management and conservation areas are central to the geography, from the Chatsworth Reservoir in the northwest to the Encino Reservoir and the Sepulveda Flood Control Basin in the east. In the southern portion, the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area preserves open space, crisscrossed by recreational routes like the Mulholland Drive (unpaved) and the Caballero Canyon Trail, contrasting with the intense development of the valley below.
