Old maps of Los Angeles show how the city grew 70000% in 150 years
Breathtaking old maps of Los Angeles from 1871 to 1948 show the jaw dropping speed of development of the city over the last 150 years, narrated with an insightful history of Los Angeles.
These maps are a window in the history of Angelinos over the last century and a half. Also, they are all exquisitely hand-drawn maps in 3D bird's-eye perspective, giving you a beautiful aerial view of old Los Angeles.
There are 20 maps bringing the history of Los Angeles to life and they cover Downtown Los Angeles from 1871 to 1935, Santa Monica, Wilmington, Azusa, San Pedro, Pasadena, Pomona, Santa Barbara and Catalina Island.
They also cover important historical events of the early days, such as settlers, the electrical supply, oil fields and ranchos.

Why all world maps are wrong
Making accurate world maps is mathematically impossible.

Maps are flat representations of our spherical planet. Johnny Harris cut open a plastic globe to understand just what it takes to turn a sphere into something flat.
His struggle to make a flat map out of the plastic globe is indicative of a challenge mapmakers have faced for centuries: It is mathematically impossible to translate the surface of a sphere onto a plane without some form of distortion.
To solve this problem, mathematicians and cartographers have developed a huge library of representations of the globe, each distorting a certain attribute and preserving others.

Los Angeles (US: /lɔːs ˈændʒələs/ (audio speaker iconlisten); lawss AN-jəl-əs;[a] Spanish: Los Ángeles, pronounced [los ˈaŋxeles], lit. 'The Angels'), often referred to by its initials L.A.,[14] is the largest city in California. With a 2020 population of 3,898,747,[10] it is the second-largest city in the United States, following New York City. Los Angeles is known for its Mediterranean climate, ethnic and cultural diversity, Hollywood film industry and sprawling metropolitan area.
The City of Los Angeles lies in a basin in Southern California, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, and extends through the Santa Monica Mountains and into the San Fernando Valley, covering a total of about 469 square miles (1,210 km2).[7] It is the seat of Los Angeles County, which is the most populous county in the United States.
Home to the Chumash and Tongva indigenous peoples, the area that became Los Angeles was claimed by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo for Spain in 1542. The city was founded on September 4, 1781, under Spanish governor Felipe de Neve, on the village of Yaanga.[15] It became a part of Mexico in 1821 following the Mexican War of Independence. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican–American War, Los Angeles and the rest of California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and thus became part of the United States. Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, five months before California achieved statehood. The discovery of oil in the 1890s brought rapid growth to the city.[16] The city was further expanded with the completion of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1913, which delivers water from Eastern California.
Los Angeles has a diverse and robust economy, and hosts businesses in a broad range of professional and cultural fields. It also has the busiest container port in the Americas.[17] In 2018, the Los Angeles metropolitan area had a gross metropolitan product of over $1.0 trillion,[18] making it the city with the third-largest GDP in the world, after Tokyo and New York City. Los Angeles hosted the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics and will host the 2028 Summer Olympics. mapa de Los Angeles California , #la ,

Maps are flat representations of our spherical planet. Johnny Harris cut open a plastic globe to understand just what it takes to turn a sphere into something flat.
His struggle to make a flat map out of the plastic globe is indicative of a challenge mapmakers have faced for centuries: It is mathematically impossible to translate the surface of a sphere onto a plane without some form of distortion.
To solve this problem, mathematicians and cartographers have developed a huge library of representations of the globe, each distorting a certain attribute and preserving others.
For instance, the Mercator projection preserves the shape of countries while distorting the size, especially near the north and south pole.
For a more accurate view of land area look at the Gall-Peters projection, which preserves area while distorting shape.
In the end, there's not "right" map projection. Each comes with trade-offs, and cartographers make projection decisions based on the particular tasks at hand. But if you are interested in seeing an accurate depiction of the planet, it's best to stick with a globe.
