About this map

The Los Angeles River cuts a prominent path through this 2012 landscape, reaching the Pacific Ocean at a highly industrial waterfront shaped by the Inner Harbor and the Back Channel. The map details a dense urban network where long-standing neighborhoods like Bixby Knolls, California Heights, and Cambodia Town meet the maritime infrastructure of Terminal Island. Notable landmarks include the historic Queen Mary docked at Queensway Landing and the expansive Long Beach Airport (Daugherty Field).

Genealogists and local historians can locate several major interments, including the Forest Lawn Memorial Cem and All Souls Cem. The coastal geography is marked by the distinct man-made features of Island Grissom and Island White, while the residential character of the shoreline is preserved in areas such as Belmont Shore and the Alamitos Peninsula. This edition provides an intricate view of the bridges connecting these ports, from the Gerald Desmond Bridge to the Commodore Schuyler F Helms Draw Bridge.
