Frogtown Cards

Description: Frogtown (or "Elysian Valley"), is a riparian community in Los Angeles's Mideast region. Its nickname comes from the American Toads which used to thrive there before the channelization of the Los Angeles River. I explored and made this map for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2009. https://ericbrightwell.com/2009/06/20/california-fools-gold-exploring-elysian-valley-aka-frogtown/

It's the region of Los Angeles in which I live. I wrote a primer in 2011 and painted this version of the map, the third, a couple of years later. https://ericbrightwell.com/2011/03/16/california-fools-gold-a-mideast-side-primer/
