2012 Map of South Gate

About this map

Huntington Park, South Gate, and Lynwood form the dense urban core of this 2012 survey, revealing the complex industrial and residential grid of Southeast Los Angeles. The map traces the critical corridor of the Los Angeles River as it flows south toward Compton, flanked by major transit arteries and the rail lines of the Southern Pacific RR and Union Pacific RR. This era of the landscape is defined by its deep community roots, shown through institutions like the Charles R Drew University of Medicine and Science and the iconic Watts Tower landmark.
