Description
Photograph of orange groves and oil wells, at Atwood, ca.1932. A grove of orange trees dots the plot of land before an oil well field strewn with derricks. A large oil rig stands behind the trees in the foreground, and several others can be seen behind it, along with a cylindrical water tank. In the far distance, the snow-capped mountain ranges sit.
