Here's my two cents, since we're all putting in our input:
I-605 is the SGV's primary singular route to Long Beach now that I-710 will not be constructed in its entire intended form. Sure, it skirts around the east end of Long Beach, but that's why CA-22 and I-405 can get motorists into the central and western parts of the city. So:
SB control city (entirety): Long Beach
Going northbound, just as CA-91 uses "Beach Cities" as one of its control cities in the IE, I-605 should use "San Gabriel Valley" all the way to its interchange with I-10. Then, since the rest of the route does not run through any real populated areas until its northern terminus, from I-10 to I-210, the northbound control should just be "to I-210"
NB control city (I-405 to I-10): San Gabriel Valley
NB control city (I-10 to I-210): To I-210
