Fairfax Maps Resource Guide

As the six different maps below highlight, the borders for the Beverly-Fairfax neighborhood have been quite fluid. 



Map #1 -- This is the core map used for most of this project. Here, the Beverly-Fairfax neighborhood reaches from Wilshire Boulevard north to Santa Monica, and from La Brea Boulevard west to La Cienega Boulevard. This is how the Vitalize Fairfax's 1981 study defined the neighborhood. 

Map #2 -- Here, the Beverly-Fairfax neighborhood stretches east to La Brea Boulevard, though the western border is not defined; it runs from Wilshire Boulevard to Melrose Avenue. This is how the 1982 Jewish Los Angeles: A Guide defined the neighborhood. 

Map #3 -- Here, the Beverly-Fairfax neighborhood stretches from La Brea Avenue west to Orlando Avenue and from Wilshire Boulevard North to Santa Monica Boulevard. This is how the 1977-1978 Jewish Los Angeles: A Guide defined the neighborhood. 

Map #4-- Here, the Beverly-Fairfax neighborhood reaches from Olympic Boulevard north to Santa Monica, and from Highland Avenue west to La Cienega Boulevard. This is how the Jewish Federation's Beverly-Fairfax Stabilization Committee defined the neighborhood in 1976. 

Map #5 -- Here, the Beverly-Fairfax neighborhood runs from Pico Boulevard north to Santa Monica Boulevard and from La Cienega Boulevard east to La Brea Avenue. This is how Los Angeles's Community Analysis Bureau defined the neighborhood during the early 1970s.
