Data included in this basemap but not limited to include freeways, highways, major and minor roads, railways, Metro lines, Metro stations, city boundaries, hillshade, national hydrographic data and land types. Designed to be suitable for large scale mapping, the basemap includes building footprints, address point and LMS data. This basemap is cached up to scale 1: 564.

Designed, created and shared by the Los Angeles County Enterprise GIS (eGIS) team, the Los Angeles County Base is designed to be overlaid with data layers. The basemap features roads, city and communities boundaries, national hydrographic data, shaded relief imagery, along with land cover and land type classifications. As you zoom further into Los Angeles County the aerial imagery layer is displayed at around the scale of 1:18,056. The basemap covers the extent of Los Angeles County, and has been designed to show different levels of detail based on zoom levels. This basemap is cached up to scale 1: 564.

This dataset contains the information for the transit lines in Los Angeles, California. The file contains left and right alignments for five Metro lines to include: the Red and Purple Line, the Gold Line, the Green Line, the Expo Line, the Blue Line. The alignments were created from coordinate points extracted from the Record Drawing. The Record Drawings included spiral curve, circle curve, and alignment data. The Record Drawings were created at various time from 11/1985 to 04/1999. Only tangent lines and circular curve data were used to create the alignments. Spiral data and crossover data were estimated and do not reflect the actual curvature of the tracks.

The Los Angeles County Storm Drain System is a geometric network model representing the storm drain infrastructure within Los Angeles County. The long term goal of this network is to seamlessly integrate the countywide drainage infrastructure, regardless of ownership or jurisdiction. Current uses by the Department of Public Works (DPW) include asset inventory, operational maintenance, and compliance with environmental regulations.

This layer represents current city boundaries within Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works provides the most current shapefiles representing city boundaries and city annexations on the Los Angeles County GIS Data Portal. True, legal boundaries are only determined on the ground by surveyors licensed in the State of California. Numerous records are freely available at the Land Records Information website, hosted by the Department of Public Works.Principal attributes include:CITY_NAME: represents the city's name.CITY_TYPE: may be used for definition queries; "Unincorporated" or "City".FEAT_TYPE: identifies the feature that each polygon represents:Land - This value is used for polygons representing the land masses, if you want to see only land features on your map.Pier - This value is used for polygons representing piers along the coastline. One example is the Santa Monica Pier.Breakwater - This value is used for polygons representing man-made barriers that protect the harbors.Water - This value is used for polygons representing navigable waters inside the harbors and marinas.3NM Buffer - This value is used for polygons representing the three seaward nautical miles within the cities' limits, per the Submerged Lands Act.POPULATION: Information in this field is supplied by Mark Greninger (mgreninger@cio.lacounty.gov).Reference Date: 2021

This raster dataset contains LiDAR-derived elevation data flown from Fall 2015 to Spring 2016, with additional reflights through Fall 2016. This dataset encompasses all of the LARIAC4 project, comprised of approximately 4214 square miles.

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded this digital elevation model (DEM) data from the USGS site: ftp://rockyftp.cr.usgs.gov/vdelivery/Data...

Los Angeles County Department of Public Works’ Vertical Control Network is composed of more than 1,700 miles (2,720 kilometers) of level runs and comprise nearly 9,000 benchmarks. The basic accuracy of the net is reflected by an indicated field probable error of ± 0.017 feet per mile (4 mm per kilometer) of leveling as determined from conditions of closure. However, because of varying degrees of subsidence and heaving, the true datum is recovered only by obtaining substantial agreement of a number of benchmarks.For each active benchmark, a point representation was created in GIS by locating them based on their description. Parcel data, mile markers, the County Address Management System (CAMS), LARIAC aerials, oblique photos, 2-foot contour lines and/or Google Street View were used in assisting with the location.The creation of the benchmarks in GIS greatly enhances the Vertical Control Network by adding visual context with respect to their representative geospatial locations. With a glance, geospatial patterns can be observed and out-of-place benchmarks can be quickly identified and remapped to the correct location after verification.To facilitate the adjustment, indexing and distribution of adjusted values in the network, the county territory was divided into 33 quads or areas. For identification purposes, each quad was given a name (for example, “Rosemead”, “La Mirada”, “Santa Fe”, and etc.). Index maps, county maps, and other information can be accessed and downloaded on the basis of each of the quads by going to Survey Division’s Benchmark Retrieval System (https://pw.lacounty.gov/sur/benchmark). General adjustments are carried out every 5 to 10 years and the provided elevation data is expected to remain sound during this period. When a quad is adjusted, new elevations will be published and the date of the readjustment will be noted. No historical data is provided, but it can be acquired from Survey Division’s Public Records Counter or via the fee based Optional Technical Research (OTR) program.

This website provides a limited number of Substructure Maps in “pdf” format via GIS polygons representing grids containing URL links. Across various areas of Los Angeles County, paper maps were created by Public Works (PW) and its predecessor Departments to show underground utilities such as cable TV, gas, oil, and telephone lines.

Though most of these maps are no longer updated, they can be useful as a research resource. Every reasonable effort has been made to assure the accuracy of this data and the maps referenced. Some cities may provide substructure information for the areas not covered by these grids. Additional and more accurate substructure data and information may also be obtained through the utility companies. Before digging, it is strongly advised to contact the Underground Service Alert (DigAlert Express) at www.digalert.org/digexpress.html or by calling 811.

This line feature layer contains Legal City boundaries within Los Angeles County.

The principal attribute is BDRY_TYPE which represents the boundary feature types. Use its values below for definition queries and layer symbology for your mapping needs.

Coast - This value represents the coastline. This data is carefully maintained by DPW staff, based Los Angeles Region Imagery Acquisition Consortium data.

Land City - This value represents city boundaries on land.

Land County - This value represents the county boundary on land.

Pier - One example is the Santa Monica Pier. Man-made features may be regarded as extensions of the coastline.

Breakwater - Examples include the breakwater barriers that protect the Los Angeles Harbor.

Water - This value is used to separate features representing internal navigable waters and the ocean. Examples of internal waters are found in the Long Beach Harbor and in Marina del Rey.

Ocean - This value is used to represent ocean boundaries between cities in addition to the seaward boundaries of coastal cities. Per the Submerged Lands Act, the seaward boundaries of coastal cities and unincorporated county areas are three nautical miles (a nautical mile is 1852 meters) from the coastline.

Designed, created and shared by the Los Angeles County Enterprise GIS (eGIS) team, the Los Angeles County Canvas Basemap is designed using minimal colors, labels and features. City boundaries, roads networks, land types and national hydrographic data are a few of the layers used to create this basemap. Unlike the Los Angeles County Base Basemap, the Canvas does not contain aerial imagery. This basemap covers the extent of Los Angeles County and may be used for large scale mapping. This basemap is cached up to scale 1: 564.

This layer delineates ridgelines within selected UNINCORPORATED Community Standards Districts (CSDs) which establish restrictions for grading and ridgeline development.
