2. What are the names of the adjacent quadrangles?
Canoga park
Van Nuys
Burbank
Topanga
Hollywood
Venice
Inglewood
3. When was the quadrangle first created?
1966
4. What datum was used to create your map?
The datum used to create the Beverly Hills Quadrangle is the North American Datum of 1927 (horizontal datum) and later updated with the North American Datum of 1983. The other datum used was the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (vertical datum).
5. What is the scale of the map?
1 : 24000
6. At the above scale, answer the following:
a) 5 centimeters on the map is equivalent to how many meters on the ground?
1cm = 240 meters -> 5 x 240 = 1200 meters
b) 5 inches on the map is equivalent to how many miles on the ground?
1in. = 2,000 ft. -> 5 x 2,000 = 10,000 ft. -> 10,000ft./5,280ft. = 1.89 Miles
c) one mile on the ground is equivalent to how many inches on the map?
1 mile = 5,280 ft. -> 5,280 ft./2,000ft. = 2.64 inches
d) three kilometers on the ground is equivalent to how many centimeters on the map?
3 kilometers = 3,000 meters -> 3,000/240 meters = 12.5 cm.
7. What is the contour interval on your map?
20 ft.
8. What are the approximate geographic coordinates in both degrees/minutes/seconds and decimal degrees of:
a) the Public Affairs Building:

8. What are the approximate geographic coordinates in both degrees/minutes/seconds and decimal degrees of:
a) the Public Affairs Building:
34*04'30"N = N34.075
118*26'33"W = W118.443
b) the tip of Santa Monica pier:
34*00'30"N = N34.008
118*30'00"W = W118.500
c) the Upper Franklin Canyon Reservoir:
34*06'15"N = N34.104
118*24'41"W = W118.411
9. What is the approximate elevation in both feet and meters of:
a) Greystone Mansion (in Greystong Park)
9. What is the approximate elevation in both feet and meters of:
a) Greystone Mansion (in Greystong Park)
580ft
176.8m
b)Woodlawn Cemetery
140ft
42.7m
c)Crestwood Hills park
800ft

10. What is the UTM zone of the map?
Zone 11
11. What are the UTM coordinates for the lower left corner of your map?
Northing 3763000m and Easting 362000m
12. How many square meters are contained within each cell (square) of the UTM gridlines?
1,000 meters x 1,000 meters = 1,000,000 sq. meters.
13. Obtain elevation measurements, from west to east along the UTM northing 3771000, where the easting of the UTM grid intersect the northing. Create an elevation profile using thse measurements in Excel (hint: create a line chart). Figure out how to label the elevation values to the two measurements on campus. Insert your elevation profile as a graphic in your blog.
