Description
Photograph of a birdseye view across Sonora Town, Los Angeles, ca.1870-1879. Two small, one-story rancher- or saltbox-style houses are visible behind a picket fence in the foreground, each having circular walkways in their courtyard. A rudimentary sidewalk and unpaved road with a milestone are visible in front of them, while the rest of the residential Sonora Town is visible after a cleared interval. Mountains are visible in the distance. Picture file card reads: "Payne photo.".
