Description
Photograph of an oil seep interrupting pavement near buildings, ca.1930. A paved road can be seen from the foreground towards the center background. A crack can be seen in the pavement towards the bottom, while weeds and shrubs line the road. Utility poles and what appears to be the back side of a billboard are visible on the left side of the road, while three one-story buildings can be seen in a row at right. A second paved road runs perpendicular to the first. A sign reading, "Grocery Co. Paints" can be seen on a two-story building towards the background, while other buildings, trees, and hills are visible in the distance.
