Description
Photograph of a view from the Los Angeles Oil Field, looking down at what is possibly Figueroa Street, ca.1932. Several automobiles race down a wide street lined with sidewalk lamps. Two wooden oil derricks stand in the right corner, a field away from a two-story house surrounded by trees on the right side of the street. The opposite side of the road is heavily residential, and another street intersects the main road at left. A WPA sign stands on the corner where the streets merge. Lines from utility poles stream overhead.
