1. The name of this quadrangle is the Beverly Hills Quadrangle
2.  The names of the adjacent quadrangles are: Canoga Park, Van Nuys, Burbank, Topanga, Hollywood, Venice, and Inglewood

3. The quadrangle was first created in 1995
4. The datum used to compile this map was the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929
5. The scale of the map is 1:24,000

6. At the above scale: 
     a) 5 centimeters on the map is equivalent to 1,200 meters on the ground
     b) 5 inches on the map is equivalent to 1.89 miles on the ground
     c) one mile on the ground is equivalent to 2.64 inches on the map
     d) three kilometers on the ground is equivalent to 12.5 centimeters on the map
7. The contour interval of the map is 20 feet
8. The approximate geographic coordinates in both degrees/minutes/seconds and decimal degrees of:
     a) the Public Affairs Building: W118°26'20'' (-118.4389), N34°4'20'' (34.0722)
     b) the tip of Santa Monica pier: W118°30'00'' (-118.5), N34°0'25' (34.00694)

     b) Woodlawn Cemetery: 140 feet/42.7 meters
     c) Crestwood Hills Park: 680 feet/207.3 meters
10. The UTM zone of the map is zone 11
11. UTM zone coordinates for the lower left corner of the map are 3763000 N and 361000 E
12. There are 1,000,000 square meters contained within each UTM
13. Elevation profile of the UTM grid intersections along the UTM northing 3771000: 

14. The magnetic declination of the map is 14 degrees
15. The intermittent stream runs from North to South
16. And here is UCLA, cropped from the map:
