Torrance and its surrounding South Bay communities are defined by a dense residential and industrial grid that gives way to the rising elevations of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. In the northern half, established neighborhoods like Lawndale, Gardena, and Redondo Beach form a continuous urban landscape, punctuated by local landmarks such as Zamperini Field and the California State University Dominguez Hills campus. The southern portion of the map reveals the dramatic geography of the Palos Verdes Hills, where steep canyons like Sepulveda Canyon and Agua Negra Canyon cut through the terrain.
