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Though most of these maps are no longer updated, they can be useful as a research resource.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.
Please note that California State Law Says, You Must Contact DigAlert!

Los Angeles County Service Planning Areas (SPAs), updated in 2022. Los Angeles County is divided into eight SPAs for health care planning purposes.Updating SPA and Health District boundaries to align with new U.S. Census Bureau census tract boundaries is performed after every Decennial Census.How was this data created?The 2020 Census Tracts from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2021 TIGER/Line were used as building blocks for the SPA layer. The 2012 SPA layer was compared to the 2020 Census Tracts to provide preliminary information on the SPAs associated with each Census Tract and to determine where SPAs no longer aligned. For the 2022 SPA layer, boundaries were updated to align with the 2020 Census Tract boundary changes with consideration for maintaining effective service delivery. The SPAs were refined to conform with the County boundary and coastline from the Supervisorial Districts 2021 and County Boundary layers.Data Fields:SPA (Type = Text, Length = 1, Alias = SPA 2022): SPA number as text; a numeric but non-quantitative identifierSPA_NAME (Type = Text, Length = 30, Alias = SPA NAME): Full SPA nameABBV (Type = Text, Length = 5): Abbreviated SPA nameLABEL (Type = Text, Length = 10): Descriptive text of SPA for mapsSPA_NUM (Type = Short, Alias = SPA NUM): SPA number as number; field type from earlier 2012 version of SPAsUpdate Frequency: After every Decennial Census or as needed

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) creates and provides authoritative data related to flood insurance. Using that data, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works has developed a public-facing web viewer for accessing flood zone information in the County of Los Angeles (Flood Zone Determination Website). Flood Zones are represented by letters for special flood hazard areas by FEMA. For example, Zone A areas have a 1 percent annual chance of flooding. This flood is also called the 100-year flood. Property owners with structures in Flood Zone A, which have a federally backed mortgage are required to obtain flood insurance.

Purpose:
To provide flood zone information to the public.
Supplemental Information:
Data from Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), where available digitally, can be found on the official FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. The DFIRM Database is the digital, geospatial version of the flood hazard information shown on the published paper Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) FEMA Flood Maps can be obtained from the FEMA Flood Map Service Center (MSC) The National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) is a digital database that contains flood hazard mapping data from FEMAs National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This map data is derived from Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) databases and Letters of Map Revision (LOMRs). The NFHL is for community officials and members looking to view effective regulatory flood hazard information in a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) application.
FEMA has additional information on the National Flood Insurance Program and Flood Hazard Mapping.
