Pasadena and its neighboring communities sit at the foot of the Angeles National Forest, where the complex drainage systems of the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains meet the urban sprawl of Los Angeles County. This 2015 survey reveals the density of the northern San Gabriel Valley, showing the transition from the high ridges of Flint Peak and Poppy Peak down to established residential districts like Linda Vista and Altacanyada. The importance of water management is evident through features such as the Devils Gate Reservoir and the Arroyo Seco. Cultural and educational landmarks are prominent across the landscape, including Occidental College, Glendale Community College, and the sprawling grounds of Forest Lawn Memorial Park. The map also captures the distinct suburban boundaries of La Cañada Flintridge, Altadena, and South Pasadena, woven together by major corridors like Foothill Blvd and Colorado Blvd.
