An extremely interesting, not to say excruciating treatise Steve although I doubt if any of us understood a word of it or are any the wiser!!

That is an exceedingly easy question Steve, all you had to do was right click on the picture that I displayed and select properties this will show that the picture's address is a long winded:-

I had found this map after a simple google search for "north ontario" ca map
one of the search results was this page:-
http://www.fallingrain.com/world/US/...h_Ontario.html
featuring the map I displayed
It was not exactly what I was looking for as it did not itself show where North Ontario is in the greater LA area (I had previously, being interested in all things aviation connected known that one of the LA area airports was called Ontario, and found Ontario and its "North" breakaway on my trusty Randy McNally US atlas so, I knew where it was).
But I could find nothing better and I was pleasantly surprised to find that that map had its own address, meaning it could be displayed on corfid
