A slightly elevated panoramic view of an oil field at Signal Hill. There are several dozen oil rigs, or derricks, most with sheds or circular structures, distributed along dirt roads. There is an office for the Armadillo Oil Company on the left, and ms. markings on the right show where Well No. 1 of the Hub Petroleum Corporation is located. There are two notes in white just left of center, reading "Photo No. 1. By ; C.C. Pierce & Co. ; 1572 W. Pico L.A." and "Long Beach Oil Field ; "Signal Hill" ; 1-18-1931".
