The Los Angeles, CA [[graticule]] is at latitude 34, longitude -118.  It does not, of course, enclose the entire city of Los Angeles, much less the Los Angeles metropolitan area.  It is debatably the most central [[graticule]] for Los Angeles, and includes downtown LA. [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]] may make a good backup [[graticule]], but it is primarily composed of ocean.

The Los Angeles, California [[graticule]] is at latitude 34, longitude -118.  While not including the entire city of Los Angeles, this graticule includes downtown LA and much of the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys. The [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]] graticule, which otherwise mostly contains ocean, includes the portion of the city of Los Angeles which is south of the 10 freeway.
