This is a map of all the In-n-Outs currently in operation from www.fastfoodmaps.com As you can see there are not to many In-n-Outs, but everyone knows that the food there is so good. If you are from the East Coast, you are pretty much screwed, as there are no In-n-Outs over there. This map is interesting because In-n-Outs seems like a very successful business, yet they remain localized to the West Coast. In-n-Out is always clean and the food is always delicious.
This is a map of Los Angeles provided by www.maps.google.com This shows us the greater Los Angeles area and I chose to put this map up because it shows us just how the highway system is overlaid among all the commotion that happen in this city. Since I currently live in the Valley, I must travel the 405 until I arrive at UCLA. This is an interesting map to look at, as there are many routes to UCLA from the San Fernando Valley, just in case the 405 happens to be busy, which it always is. As you can see there are a few main roads that I can travel, but usually the highway is faster, no matter how slow it can be.
This is a map of the I-5 highway that runs through all of California, Oregon, and Washington. This image is from www.i5highway.com and shows us just exactly where this highway leads. I find this interesting because this is the main highway people use to travel between Northern and Southern California. The interstate is nearly 1400 miles in length and connects many of the major cities that span California, Oregon, and Washington. You can just see how many cities that this highway runs through in Southern California. Portions of the highway were completed before the passage of the Federal Highway Act of 1956, but this act allowed funding for other parts of the highway that were finally completed in 1979.
