Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of an unidentified oil field, [s.d.]. Hundreds of tall oil derricks are scattered across the image from the foreground to the background. Each structure is narrow and tapers slightly as it rises. Platforms can be seen on top of the derricks. Several wooden buildings can be seen around the bases of the derricks, and a grid of dirt roads connect the buildings.
