2015 Map of Hollywood

About this map

Hollywood and its surrounding neighborhoods are depicted during a period of dense urban consolidation in this mid-2010s study. The map traces the famous topography where the Santa Monica Mountains meet the developed flatlands, featuring iconic residential enclaves like Whitley Heights and Hollywood Heights. This era of the city's history is characterized by a high concentration of specialized institutions, from the American Film Institute Conservatory and Musicians Institute to the University of Southern California campus at the southern edge. The landscape is a complex grid of historic districts such as Hancock Park, Larchmont Village, and Koreatown, reflecting the diverse cultural and economic development of the Los Angeles basin. Significant open spaces and landmarks remain prominent, including the Hollywood Reservoir and the Hollywood Memorial Park, alongside the established transit corridors of Wilshire Blvd and Santa Monica Blvd.
