About this map

Hollywood and West Hollywood anchor this comprehensive portrait of the central Los Angeles basin as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map illustrates the dense urban fabric extending from the Hollywood Bowl and Hollywoodland Gates in the north down to Baldwin Hills and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in the south. This area is characterized by its world-renowned entertainment infrastructure, featuring the historic lots of Columbia Picture Studios, Paramount Studios, and Television City.

Beyond the studio lots, the terrain transitions from the steep canyons of the Santa Monica Mountains, including Brush Canyon and Vermont Canyon, to the flat residential grids of Koreatown, Hancock Park, and Leimert Park. Crucial water infrastructure like the Hollywood Reservoir and Silver Lake Reservoir sit alongside cultural landmarks such as the Griffith Observatory and the Angels Flight Railway. The inclusion of various neighborhood designations like Little Ethiopia and Larchmont Village highlights the diverse community identities that define this portion of the city.
