Interesting. Most of the names have come into use over the last half 
century or so and are unfamiliar to me. Places mentioned as merely 
SURROUNDING the featured neighborhoods have the names I really do 
remember. Much of the area and population is in THAT category. For 
example, Noir LA lies outside such a restriction so that Larry 
Sportello's Manhattan Beach is missing. Also Philip Marlowe's Malibo (at 
least in a movie versions). Goes for Lew Basnight's  'old downtown' 
setting also.

But despite this deficiencies for P readers still quite a interesting 
assortment.

Interesting.  Unfortunately, Noir L.A. isn't well represented.  Larry 
Sportello's place of work is outside city limits alas. Lew's "old 
downtown" is missing. And Marlowe's Malibu (as in a movie version) is 
only L.A. county, not city.

I spent my first quarter century in L.A. and environs, but that was a 
very long time ago. These current neighborhood designations are totally 
unfamiliar. The areas surrounding, which the mapmaker has kindly 
provided, and completely recognizable however. Ah, the joy of it all . . . .
