Photograph caption dated March 10, 1954 reads "Colored cliffs rising high in the air near Santa Paula, in the Santa Clara Valley (sic), provide Valley residents with a view as bright and varied as the bigger--but more distant--scenes of the Grand Canyon. It takes less than two hours to reach the mountain-girded valley, where oil wells like the one on South Mountain (above) dot the slopes. The drillers' rigs have not destroyed natural beauty of the area." Santa Clara River Valley is located in Ventura County, California.; See images #00122149 through #00122156 for all photos in this series.
