Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of El Pismo Beach near San Luis Obispo, ca.1905. The beach is in the distance at center. The land bordering the ocean is crescent-shaped and curves into the distance at right. There is a pier jutting out into the water at center. In the foreground, a narrow suspension bridge spans a deep ravine, and a dirt road leads to the resort town of El Pismo Beach. The town is a small collection of buildings near the water at center. Several farm buildings are visible at left, and a horse-drawn plow is in a field at left.
