The Ultimate True Detective Season Two Filming Location Map

View as Map

Season Two of HBO's True Detective—shot largely in and around Los Angeles— wrapped up last night, and the people who stuck it out long enough to find out what the hell was going on this season finally got to see all the (un)satisfying conclusions to the mysteries spun over eight episodes, including the killing-off of some but, of course, not all of the protagonists. Whether you liked it or really really hated it, this season did make great use of Los Angeles and its surrounding cities, showing off the famed freeways in aerial shot after aerial shot, LA's underground pedestrian tunnels, and LA's tiny neighbor Vernon in the role of depressing, corrupt Vinci (typecasting!). The last three episodes of the season took viewers all over Southern California, from the killing sheds of Mount Baldy to the train stations of Orange County. We've rounded up 53 key locations from the end of the season and mapped them here:

Frank Semyon’s House

Copy Link

Frank Semyon (Vince Vaughn), a gangster really trying to go kind of straight, calls this lovely Topanga house home.

Frankie, you are so money, baby.

A high-stakes meeting with potential investors in Semyon's big land deal along the high-speed rail line goes down at what's actually the Normandie Casino.

Raided Farmhouse

Panticapaeum Institute

Ray beats up a writer

Copy Link

Here's the sad apartment where the writer penning an investigatory series about Vinci gets a visit from a boozed-up, ski-mask-wearing Ray Velcoro. It is not a nice visit, and the writer agrees to kill the story. Though there's a junkie getting high behind a dumpster, in real life, the Sherman Oaks apartment building isn't in such a rough part of town.

California Highway Patrol building

Copy Link

CHP officer Paul Woodrugh (Taylor Kitsch) gets in a bit of trouble when a young woman claims that he solicited a blowjob in exchange for dropping a ticket. He meets at CHP headquarters with his superior. The building is really the Hawthorne Historical Society.

Bullying is bad. Steal a kid's shoes and his drunk cop dad might come to your doorstep and beat your dad up while you're forced to watch.

Black Rose bar exterior

Copy Link

Looking for a place to slam Johnnie Walker and talk about IVF with a business acquaintance? This is the spot where Frank and Ray get together for their weird little chats. Outside of the TD universe, it seems to be part of a Huntington Park industrial building and not a bar at all.

Ani gets kicked out of a casino

Copy Link

Pounding well drinks at the local casino leads to Ani being escorted out of said casino by two large, unimpressed security guards. The place is an honest-to-goodness gambling establishment in Ventura called Players Casino.

Paul finds Ben Caspere

Copy Link

Ani and Ray visit Dr. Pitlor

Copy Link

Ani and Ray pay a visit to the clinic of Dr. Pitlor, Ben Caspere's psychologist and the kind of guy who wears a cravat and sunglasses indoors. The clinic is really a stunning Simi Valley mansion.

After a fight with his girlfriend Emily, Paul leaves for LA. The place he's staying is actually the Courtyard Los Angeles Sherman Oaks.

Caspere’s apartment

Copy Link

Ray goes alone to check out the apartment that reportedly belonged to the late Ben Caspere. He's surprised by a masked person who shoots him at the end of episode two.

Mayor Chessani’s house

Copy Link

The house of the incredibly corrupt, ceaselessly intoxicated Vinci mayor is supposed to be in Bel Air, but the real place is in Beverly Hills and is every bit as incredibly gaudy as it looks in the show. The mayor could use a housekeeper or two, though.

Downtown construction site

Copy Link

Frank, in need of money, returns to his old ways of shaking people down, starting with a construction site manager. On the show, the project is a "vertical mall," but in reality, the City West lot will soon give way to some apartments that are being billed as a less-expensive DTLA alternative.

Copy Link

While questioning a driver who might know something about what happened to Caspere, Ani and Ray find the car that ferried him (it's on fire) and are led on an energetic, dangerous chase through underpass homeless encampments by a person who looks like they might be wearing a Scream mask.

Paul Looks for His Motorcycle

Bus Crash

The shooters escape in an SUV and Ani, Ray, Paul, and the officers who weren't shot give chase on foot. A bad scene becomes a terrible one when the SUV crashes into a bus at this intersection practically under Whittier Boulevard, and not far from the exploded warehouse.

Frank's New House

Paul stops in at a handful of shops in Downtown's Jewelry District, but the most readily recognizable visit he makes is at the counter at Omid Jewelry.

Frank meets Jacob McCandless

Copy Link

Frank goes to see Jacob McCandless, the guy who broke it to Frank that Caspere took him for all his money. Though it's not clear if the show actually filmed inside the building, the editing suggests that McCandless's office is in the Metropolitan Water District headquarters next to Union Station.

Creepy shed

Copy Link

This rock cabin is mainly a party house that now-deceased Vinci City Manager Ben Caspere was known to frequent, but it's the creepy wooden shed nearby where all the gruesome stuff goes down. In reality, it's Harwood Lodge, a Sierra Club cabin in Mt. Baldy built in 1930.

The sex party was filmed at an old Greene & Green mansion in Pasadena known as the Robinson House.

Frank's meeting with Irina

Frank finally arranges a meeting with Irina (yay!), but she's dead by the time her arrives (noooo!). The meeting was set for what is in reality this South Gate industrial site.

Copy Link

After running away from that orgy party, Ray, Ani, Paul, and the missing girl they found end up here, at this Mt. Baldy motel.

Ray meets Chief Holloway

Copy Link

Ray tracks the guy who shot him in Caspere's house (who is also the son of the murdered jewelers whose diamonds are missing) to the ARTIC train station in Anaheim.
