A panoramic view of the oil field of Signal Hill. There are about twenty oil rigs, or derricks, spread across the image, with many more visible in the distance on the far left. There is a man walking along the unpaved road just left of center, while a woman watches over two children in a field from the house on the left. There are several widely spaced houses across the landscape, as well as sheds at the base of each derrick.
