Glendale Map Art

Glendale sits in a tight grid bounded by the San Rafael Hills to the north and the Los Angeles River to the south, with Brand Boulevard running as the main north-south spine. The street pattern is relentlessly orthogonal, interrupted only by the river's meander and the occasional diagonal imposed by older property lines. Downtown clusters around Central Avenue and Broadway, while the hills create a natural boundary that constrains eastward sprawl.
