Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of Sonora Town from Fort Hill, Los Angeles, ca.1885. A residential area is shown, with homes arranged on blocks in no apparent order. The town becomes more commercial to the left beyond the flagpole that stands to the right of center, and several of the buildings advertise via signs. Mountains are visible beyond hills in the background, on which a cemetery can be seen enclosed by fencing to the left. Legible signs include: "Flour Mills Capitol Milling Co.". Compares to: CHS-6908 6954 7078 7388 7390. These photos show a similar view of Sonora Town during differing time periods.
