How can I overlay a VFR sectional on another map to identify features and landmarks? How do I know which highways and landmarks on a VFR sectional align with which real-world features? Is there a way to overlay the VFR sectional map from the FAA on top of Google Maps or Bing?

Edit: I'm asking in relation to VFR flight in general where you are responsible for your own navigation, and not about a specific route of flight.
Seems to me you're going to be directed by SoCal approach that whole route per the routing shown in Skyvector.com, especially with the LAX Class B right there, and the TFR will be the last of your worries. Put your enroute and the final destination into your GPS (Foreflight or whatever), and be ready for deviations.
