Description
Photograph of partial aerial view of a chemical potash factory and railroad yards, September 1928. At center, a low rectangular building can be seen. Four square windows are visible on the side of the building, and a large panel leans against the wall. The building is sitting on a large wooden platform. On the right-edge of the platform in the foreground, a group of small cylinders can be seen in front of the building. To the left of the platform, several railroad tracks can be seen in the dirt below. In the foreground on the left, two railroad cars are visible. To the right of the platform, a road has been made in the dirt below. In the background, a group of small residential houses can be seen to the far right. On the left, another railroad car can be seen adjacent to various buildings. In the extreme background, a large factory with three smokestacks can be seen. Billows of black smoke emerge from two of the smokestacks. The large factory at center is visible extending to the left. Behind the factory, a large mountain range can be seen.
