3. The quadrangle was first created in 1995.
4. NAD 27 and NAD 83 were used as the horizontal datum for the quadrangle while the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 was used for the vertical datum.
5. The scale of the map is 1:24,000
6. a) 1/24000 = 5cm/x
       x = 5cm*24000 = 120000cm = 1200m.
       5cm on the map is equal to 1200 m on the ground.
    b) 1/24000 = 5inches/x
         x = 5inches*24000 =120000inches =  1.893 939 393 9 mile
         5 in on the map is equal to 1.9 mile on the ground.
    c) 1/24000 = x/1mile
         x = 63 360 inches/24000 = 2.64inches
         1 mile on ground is equal to 2.64 inches on the map.
    d) 1/24000 = x/3km
         x = 300000cm/24000 = 12.5cm
        3km on the ground is equal to 12.5cm on the map.
7. The contour interval for the map is 20 feet.
8. a)Geographic coordinates of the Public Affairs building: 34° 3' 55" N 118° 26' 10" W; 34.0653N 118.4361W.

10. The UTM zone of the map is zone 11.
11. The UTM coordinates for the lower left corner of the map: 3,764,000m and 362,000m.
12. 1,000 sq m x 1,000sq m = 100,000 sq m are contained within each cell (square) of the UTM gridlines.
13. Elevation Profile along UTM northing 3771000:

 

14. The Magnetic Declination of the map is +14°.
15. The direction of water flow in the intermittent stream between the 405 freeway and stone canyon is  south.
16.
