The map
El Monte lies in the San Gabriel Valley, east of downtown Los Angeles. On a map it sits between the Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel River, whose straightened channels run roughly north to south on either side of the city. The land is flat, and the streets form a mostly regular grid of blocks.
Major roads cross the city in long straight lines, and the San Bernardino Freeway runs through the southern part of El Monte, with a large bus station serving the region. Residential blocks, shopping strips and small industrial areas fill the space between the main roads.
El Monte is often described as the end of the Santa Fe Trail, a reminder that settlers were arriving here in the nineteenth century, long before the freeways. An El Monte map poster shows the result: an old stopping point absorbed into the grid of greater Los Angeles, held between its two rivers.
The Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel River run on either side of the city in engineered channels, forming its natural boundaries.
The I-10 cuts a strong line through the southern part of the city, with interchanges and the bus station beside it.
Long straight boulevards and regular residential blocks cover the flat valley floor, typical of the Los Angeles basin.
