Aerial view of the Wilshire, La Brea district, looking northwest. Large sqUare of undeveloped land showing two mounds is El Arroyo del Jardin de los Flores, The Stream of the Garden of Flowers. The stream flowed from the location of today's Wilshire Country Club through Hancock Park, joining another creek that eventually drained to Ballona Creek near La Brea and St. Elmo Drive. The majority of this creek was piped and filled; a portion of it remains above ground at the Wilshire County Club, and a creek running through Brookside Estates also shares this name. View also shows L.A. High School, lower left of photo and a large oil field, La Arqa Develop. #97, in the distance.
