The map
East Los Angeles is an unincorporated community just east of Boyle Heights and downtown Los Angeles. From above, it is a dense grid of small residential blocks with single-family homes, broken up by major freeways: the Pomona Freeway runs through the area, and the Long Beach, Golden State and San Bernardino freeways pass close to its edges. Whittier Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Avenue are its main commercial streets.
East LA is one of the most important centres of Mexican American and Chicano culture in the United States. Whittier Boulevard is known for its car culture, and the area is famous for its murals. The Chicano Moratorium march of 1970 took place here. East Los Angeles College and Belvedere Park are among its landmarks.
An East Los Angeles map poster shows the fine texture of the neighbourhood grid, cut through by wide freeway corridors and anchored by the long lines of its main boulevards. In black and white, the density of the streets becomes a strong graphic pattern with deep local meaning.
The main commercial street runs across the area on a long diagonal, a strong line through the grid and the heart of the community's shops and car culture.
The Pomona Freeway and nearby interchanges cut through and around the grid in wide curves, giving the composition bold shapes against the small blocks.
The park and nearby civic buildings form one of the larger open spaces in the area, a calm break in the dense residential pattern on the poster.
