I chose this area because it encompasses the neighborhood I live in, Chatsworth. Chatsworth is known for its topography, with lots of peaks for hiking such as Stony Point and Rocky Peak. The topography of the area gets steadily more hilly and hits higher elevations as it goes more inland from the Pacific Ocean. These hills are important not only from a geographic standpoint, but serve as the political boundary lines between Los Angeles County and Ventura County. The slope map, unfortunately, does not show variation and is less useful than I hoped it would be.
