Description
Photograph of oil wells, showing derricks in desert terrain, ca.1930. Short, feather-like plants stand in a row along the edge of a dirt road which lies behind the sandy field in the foreground. Just beyond the road, dry grass and short, dark trees stand among the field of tall derricks which continue into the distance. Several short, wooden structures are barely visible standing below the derricks in the background.
