Lab 2: USGS Topographic Maps
1.) Name of Quadrangle: Beverly Hill Quadrangle
2.) Adjacent Quadrangles: Canoga Park Quadrangle, Van Nuys Quadrangle, Burbank Quadrangle, Topanga Quadrangle, Hollywood Quadrangle, Venice Quadrangle, Inglewood Quadrangle
3.) Date Created: 1995
4.) Datum Used: North American Datum of 1927 and North American Datum of 1983
5.) Map Scale: 1:24 000
6.) (a) 1cm = 240 meters on ground so 5cm = 240cm x 5 = 1200 meters on the ground.
(b) 1in =0.379 miles on the ground so 5in = 0.379 x 5 = 1.895 miles on the ground.
(c) 63,360 inches in a mile so 63,360 in/24000= 2.64 inches on the map.
(d) 3km = 300,000 cm so 300,000cm/24000 = 12.5 cm on the map.
7.) Contour Interval: 20 feet
8.) Geographic Coordinates
(a) The Public Affairs Building: Lat 34° 4' 15" (34.070833), Long 118° 26' 40" (118.444444)
