Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Picture taken from under canopy of tree. Leafy branches frame the forefront of the image. A building with a dirt yard is also seen. In the background, a tall column of fire engulfs what appears to be either a high crane or oil well, in an oil field dotted with: other wells, machinery, exposed piping, and bare trees. This is presumably the Santa Fe Springs oil fields in Los Angeles County. Text from nitrate negative sleeve: Santa Fe Oil Wells, 2602, [stamped: OCT 24 1935]
