    That is not an aerial view of Morgan junction. It is Calif.Av & Fauntleroy.

    Yes, every bit of the photo is part of the Morgan Junction neighborhood. California/Fauntleroy is the heart of Morgan Junction, but it stretches for more than a few blocks to the north, to the south, to the west, to the east. – TR
