Description
Photograph of dirt roads passing through an oil field, [s.d.]. Two wide dirt roads intersect in the foreground at right. One passes from the foreground at right to the background at center, while the other crosses the image from left to right. In the background, dozens of tall wooden oil derricks are visible. Wooden buildings are visible among the oil wells, and one in the foreground at left is spewing smoke through a chimney. Seven automobiles can be seen parked along the sides of the roads in the foreground.
