welcome to SW WA: population, you.

Orange is a city in North Orange County. Unlike most of Orange County, it boasts a variety of attractive homes built in several eras and architectural styles. It is particularly notable for its Eichler tracts. I explored it for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2010. https://ericbrightwell.com/2010/12/07/california-fools-gold-exploring-orange-orange-countys-plaza-city/

Los Angeles County is by fart the most-populous of the US's 3,007 counties and county-equivalents (i.e. 64 parishes, 19 organized boroughs, 10 census areas, 41 independent cities, and the District of Columbia). It's home to the country's most densely-populated urban area, Metro Los Angeles, as well.

Northwest County -- or sometimes, "Northwest Los Angeles," is a region of Los Angeles County. Although sparsely populated, it's home to the county's third-most populous city, Santa Clarita. I made a primer and this map for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2011. https://ericbrightwell.com/2011/04/04/california-fools-gold-a-northwest-los-angeles-county-primer/

I moved to Los Angeles in 1999. I couldn't find a map of all of the communities and neighborhoods of the county. I set about making my own -- exploring the vast county on foot and mass transit. Along the way, I drew maps with ink and painted them in watercolors and oil paint -- or some combination (including correction fluid). As a lefty converted to a righty, my handwriting is terrible and my maps are sometimes hard to read when reproduced or reprinted -- and so I've made these clean, digital versions for people who prefer that sort of thing.
