The contour interval on this map is set to 20 feet.
8. What are the approximate geographic coordinates in both degrees/minutes/seconds and decimal degrees of:
a) the Public Affairs Building;
34 degrees 4' 26" N by 118 degrees 26' 20" W or 34.074 degrees N by -118.439 degrees W.
b) the tip of the Santa Monica Pier;
