Maps Show Where Southland Industrial Plants are Located

Two new 31-by-41-inch wall maps covering the five-county area around Los Angeles show where the 28,000 industrial plants employing more than 1.2 million people are located and where future plants can be located under present zoning.

“Industrial Centers in the L.A. Five-County Area,” shows where industry is currently sited, along with land zoned for industrial use. It also shows railroads, airports, freeways, counties, cities and communities.

“Distribution of Manufacturing Employment in the L.A. Five-County Area,” shows by dots the distribution of manufacturing employment, with each dot representing 500 industrial employees.

The maps can be obtained from Western Economic Research Co. Inc., 15910 Ventura Blvd., Suite A-8, Encino, Calif. 91436. Prices vary, depending on whether the maps are on paper, laminated or as an overlay.
