Topographic Map Exercise

1. Beverly Hills Quadrangle

2.The adjacent quadrangles are as follows: To the North from west to east: Canoga Park, Van Nuys, and Burbank. To the west: Topanga, To the east: Hollywood. To the South: Venice and Inglewood.

3.Topography was first compiled in 1966

4. NAD 27 is the horizontal datum, whereas National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 is the vertical datum.

5. Scale is 1: 24,000. This means that for every 1cm on the map, it represents 24000 cm, or 240 m on the ground.

6. a) 5cm on the Map is 1200 m on the ground.
1200 x 1m/100cm = 1200m


b) 5 inches on the map is 1.894 miles
5(24000in) x 1ft/12in x1mi/5,280ft =1.894mi
c) 1 mile on the ground is 2.64 inches on the map
5280ft x 12 in /24,000 in = 2.64
d) 3km on the ground is equal to 12.5 cm on the map
3km x 1000m/1km x 100cm/1m/24000cm = 12.5cm

7. Contour interval is 20 ft.

8.

a) 118 deg 28' 47"long   34 deg 4'25"  latt
b) 118 deg 30" long    34 deg 00" 31" latt
c) 118 deg 24'32" long
  34 deg  7' 12" latt

9 a) Greystone Mansion:  580 ft or 176.78 m
1m = 3.281 (580ft)(1m/3.281 ft.) = 176.78)

Woodlawn Cemetery: 140 ft or 42.67m
(140ft)(1m/3.281m) = 42.67m

c) Crestwood Park: 720 ft or 219.46m
720ft (1m/3.281ft) = 219.46 m

10) zone 11

11. UTM Coordinates of lower left map corner is 3763000m N 361500m E

12. 1km^2

14.Magnetic Declination is 14 degrees East

15. Stream flow is South
