5. What is the scale of the map?
5. The scale of the map is (fractional) 1:24 000 and thus 1 inch represents 24,000 miles or 2000 feet. (bottom middle where SCALE is indicated)
6. At the above scale, answer the following:
a) 5 centimeters on the map is equivalent to how many meters on the ground?
a) Five centimeters on the map would be equivalent to 1200 meters on the ground.
c) one mile on the ground is equivalent to how many inches on the map?
c)One mile on the ground would be equal to 2.64 inches on the map.
7. What is the contour interval on your map?
8. What are the approximate geographic coordinates in both degrees/minutes/seconds and
decimal degrees of:
a) the Public Affairs Building?
b) the tip of Santa Monica pier?
c) the Upper Franklin Canyon Reservoir?
9. What is the approximate elevation in both feet and meters of:
a) Greystone Mansion (in Greystone Park)?
b) Woodlawn Cemetery?
c) Crestwood Hills Park?
10. What is the UTM zone of the map?
11. What are the UTM coordinates for the lower left corner of your map?
12. How many square meters are contained within each cell (square) of the UTM gridlines?
13. Obtain elevation measurements, from west to east along the UTM northing 3771000,
where the eastings of the UTM grid intersect the northing. Create an elevation profile
using these 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.
14. What is the magnetic declination of the map?
14. The magnetic declination is 14 feet. (bottom, norths indicated)
16. Crop out (i.e., cut and paste) UCLA from the map and include it as a graphic on your
blog.

4. The North American Datum of 1972 (NAD 27) was used to create this map. (bottom left corner)
5. What is the scale of the map?
5. The scale of the map is (fractional) 1:24 000 and thus 1 inch represents 24,000 miles or 2000 feet. (bottom middle where SCALE is indicated)
6. At the above scale, answer the following:
a) 5 centimeters on the map is equivalent to how many meters on the ground?
a) Five centimeters on the map would be equivalent to 1200 meters on the ground.
WORK: 1centi:24 ooocenti times 5 = 5centi:120,000centi; 1 meter=100 centimeters; 1meter/100centimeters = ?/120,000 (as fractions)
b) 5 inches on the map is equivalent to how many miles on the ground?
b) 1.8939 (repeating) miles
b) 5 inches on the map is equivalent to how many miles on the ground?
b) 1.8939 (repeating) miles
WORK: 1inch:24 000inches times 5 = 5inches:120,000inches. 1mile=63,360inches; 1/63,36000=120,000/?.
c) one mile on the ground is equivalent to how many inches on the map?
c)One mile on the ground would be equal to 2.64 inches on the map.
WORK: 63,360/24000=2.64
d) three kilometers on the ground is equivalent to how many centimeters on the map?
d) 12.5 centimeters on the map are equal to 3 kilometers on the ground.
d) three kilometers on the ground is equivalent to how many centimeters on the map?
d) 12.5 centimeters on the map are equal to 3 kilometers on the ground.
WORK: 3kilometers= 300000meters/24000=12.5
7. What is the contour interval on your map?
7. The contour interval on the map is 20 feet. (bottom of map)
8. What are the approximate geographic coordinates in both degrees/minutes/seconds and
decimal degrees of:
a) the Public Affairs Building?
a) Public Affairs Building has the approximate geographic coordinates as: 34 degrees, 4 minutes and 26.17 seconds N Latitude; 118 degrees, 24 minutes and 20.75 seconds W Longitude; Decimal: 34.0739361 and -118.4057638.
WORK: minutes times 60seconds plus seconds (here) divided by 3600(seconds in hour) plus degrees gives answer; if it's W or S I negate the result.
b) the tip of Santa Monica pier?
b) 34 degrees, o minutes, 26.96 seconds N Latitude; 118 degrees, 29 minutes 59.22 seconds W Longitude; Decimal: 34.00748N and -118.499783.
c) the Upper Franklin Canyon Reservoir?
c) 34 degrees, 7 minutes and 12.55 seconds N Latitude; 118 degrees, 24 minutes, 37.03 seconds W Longitude.
a) Greystone Mansion (in Greystone Park)?
a) Greystone Mansion has the approximate elevation of 620 feet and 188.976 meters.
b) Woodlawn Cemetery?
b) The Cemetery is 140 feet in elevation and 42.672 meters.
c) Crestwood Hills Park is at 636 feet elevation and 193.85 meters.
10. What is the UTM zone of the map?
10. The UTM zone of the map is 11. (bottom left block)
11. What are the UTM coordinates for the lower left corner of your map?
11. The UTM coordinates for the lower left corner of the map are
12. How many square meters are contained within each cell (square) of the UTM gridlines?
12. There are 10,000 foot ticks
where the eastings of the UTM grid intersect the northing. Create an elevation profile
using these 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.
13. Unable to complete question.
14. What is the magnetic declination of the map?
14. The magnetic declination is 14 feet. (bottom, norths indicated)
15. In which direction does water flow in the intermittent stream between the 405 freeway
and Stone Canyon Reservoir?
and Stone Canyon Reservoir?
15. The intermittent stream, marked with the dashes, between the 405 freeway and Stone Canyon Reservoir flows in the direction of upstream since there are "V" shape contours indicating this direction.
