The Angeles National Forests make up the thick and dense band of 'area of concern' that spans from about a quarter to one-third of the northern part of the map. The Santa Monica Mountains are located on the southwestern part of the map. Both of the zones have the most densely populated areas of risk, in which several roads run through.
