It covers the vicinity from Hollywood, Griffith Park, and Glendale in the north to Inglewood, Watts, and Huntington Park in the south. The map presents the city's street grid pattern with the city limits shown by black dashed lines and street car lines highlighted in red overprinting. Several railroads are located and named along with parks, cemeteries, and the course of the Los Angeles River. The verso contains a comprehensive street index. Folds into light blue paper wrappers (3.5 x 6.5").
