About this map

The Vincent Thomas Bridge serves as a modern architectural anchor for this coastal landscape, connecting the industrial waterfront to the dense grid of San Pedro. This 2012 survey documents the complex maritime infrastructure of the Port of Los Angeles, including the Main Channel, Fish Harbor, and the protective The Mole. These features contrast sharply with the natural geography of the Palos Verdes Hills and the steep San Pedro Escarpment to the west.

Maritime history is well-represented by the dual presence of the Fermin Lighthouse on the mainland and the Angels Gate Lighthouse marking the entrance to the Los Angeles Outer Harbor. Between the active shipping lanes and the residential heights, local landmarks like Marymount College, Daniels Field, and the Harbor View Memorial Park illustrate the established civic fabric of the community at the start of the 21st century.
