An ink and oil paint map of Little Osaka (now officially re-named "Sawtelle Japantown") that I made for "California Fool's Gold" in 2009. It got a little wrinkled because it was raining during the exploration. https://ericbrightwell.com/2009/12/09/california-fools-gold-exploring-little-osaka-%E3%83%AA%E3%83%88%E3%83%AB%E5%A4%A7%E9%98%AA/

I moved to Southern California in 1999. I couldn't find a map of all of the communities and neighborhoods of Orange 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.

Little Bangladesh is a small ethnic enclave in Midtown Los Angeles. It is perhaps, the only officially recognized ethnic enclave within another ethnic enclave (Koreatown). I explored it for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2010. https://ericbrightwell.com/2010/05/17/1186/

Rose Hill is a small neighborhood in Los Angeles's Eastside, nestled between Lincoln Heights, Happy Valley, and El Sereno. I explored it, with my feline companion, Dooley, in 2014. https://ericbrightwell.com/2014/01/21/with-shanty-pads-squatting-on-mud-hills-exploring-rose-hill/

This hand-drawn map is of Big Bear City which -- despite its name -- is an unincorporated town in San Bernardino County. I explored the community and drew the map in the summer of 2018. (https://ericbrightwell.com/2018/07/09/california-fools-gold-exploring-big-bear-city/)

Palms is one of the most culturally interesting neighborhoods on Los Angeles's Westside. It's home to Simpang Asia, the Museum of Jurassic Technology, and the Center for Land Use Interpretation. I explored it for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2016. https://ericbrightwell.com/2016/11/27/california-fools-gold-exploring-palms/

Santa Ana is the county seat of Orange County. It's known as "Orange County's Downtown" and is one of the few cities in that county that can truly be characterized, in part, as urban. I explored it for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2010. https://ericbrightwell.com/2010/08/11/california-fools-gold-exploring-santa-ana-downtown-orange-county/

Pasadena is today only the ninth-most populous cities in Los Angeles County. However, it is easily one of the most historically and culturally important. I explored it for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2012. https://ericbrightwell.com/2012/01/04/california-fools-gold-exploring-pasadena-the-crown-city-of-roses/

West Adams, historically, refers to a sub-region of Los Angeles centered along West Adams Boulevard. Today, it also refers to a newer neighborhood of South Los Angeles, also bisected by West Adams. Thus, this map is distinguished as "Historic West Adams."
