Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of the Wilshire Causeway, showing Westlake Park (later MacArthur Park), 1930-1939. The causeway is shown at center, bending to the left around the lake of the park, while to the right a small, secondary lagoon can be seen. In the background, the mountains can be seen behind a stretch of highrise buildings. Automobiles are clustered in the foremost portion of the causeway, where men can be seen standing at the intersection.
