Is it me, or is this map (found via the Atwater Village Nerd) listing fake places for no reason in Downtown and the east side: Shorb? Hazard? Dockweiler?
(check out a readable version at the Atwater site..)

To say Los Angeles is multi-faceted is an understatement. As an LA City Nerd, I have the privilege of sharing with you some of the nuances that make this City, well, LA. Whether good or bad, that's for you to decide. I'm not the ultimate expert on all things LA, but I know enough to be considered a City Nerd.

I read that map purveyors Thomas Bros. (maybe also Mapquest, who knows?) put fake streets in their maps to ferret out copyright violations.
Perhaps, or are these new map-makers just confused?
There is a Hazard St. in East L.A...
These are (somtimes long gone) train "stops" along a railroad line ("stops" meaning some kind of designated point on a railroad line that hold some sort of significance to the railroad company, could be a stations, equipment, junction, etc.) There doesn't even have to be a railroad line there anymore - for example, old Pacific Electric "junctions" are still marked somtimes. I have noticed these for many years on mapquest.
there's a shorb street in east la too.. it runs through alhambra
