Los Angeles is home to the fifth busiest port facility in the world (and the busiest outside of Asia). The communities, situated around the San Pedro Bay, make up the Habor District or Harbor Region. I made this map of Los Angeles's Harbor Region and wrote a primer for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2011. https://ericbrightwell.com/2011/03/23/california-fools-gold-a-harbor-primer/

From the series “Code”, oil and graphite pencil on paper, original size 28 x 50 cm, 2016. A map is an imprint, a sign of man in the landscape. An alien intelligence, observing our cities from the great distances of the space, could interpret them as the characters of an alphabet, sort of messages, a code of signs, each one different from the other, each with its own meaning and its own syntax. This hypothetical alien presence may not even realize that these cities have a purpose and a function, which are the product of the way we have adapted to live on this planet, but it could engage in an attempt to interpret this unknown language, identifying the alphabet and associating to each character a precise meaning. We will still be ...

You might even be able to find your house!

Pioneertown began life as a livable Western film set in 1946. When Westerns fell from fashion, Pioneertown fell on hard times. However, after the old Cantina reopened as a roadhouse (now Pappy & Harriets), things began to turn around and today Pioneertown is home to the Pioneertown Hotel, Red Dog Saloon, and other businesses -- and about 420 residents. https://ericbrightwell.com/2022/06/08/california-fools-gold-exploring-pioneertown/

The Fairfax District is a neighborhood in Los Angeles's Midtown region.

Angeleno Heights (originally "Angeleño Heights") is a mostly-residential Victorian-era suburb in Mideast Los Angeles (MELA). It's most famous for its grand Victorian homes (which is why it sometimes plays San Francisco in films and television) but there are also charming Crafstmans and homes in later styles. I explored for "California Fool's Gold" in 2010. https://ericbrightwell.com/2010/12/16/california-fools-gold-exploring-angeleno-heights/

The theme song to the West Covina-set television series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend described West Covina is "the pride of the Inland Empire." It coule be said that that show put West Covina "on the map." Unfortunately, that map is not at all accurate. West Covina is in an altogether different county, Los Angeles, to be precise -- not the Inland Empire (i.e. Riverside and San Bernardino counties). I put it on the map in the correct place -- in the San Gabriel Valley.
