Description
Photograph of a walkway on Ranch Montebello with oil derricks in the background, ca.1930. A dirt road lined with a low brick wall lines the foreground, and a small staircase leads to a narrow path walk that winds through the center. Thick lines of foliage line the path, and part of an oil derrick can be seen at right. The tops of two other derricks can be seen in the distance, as well as several oil tanks and stacks at left.
