Description
Photograph of a hilly oil field and network of roads in Fullerton, ca.1915. A single well connected to a shack is visible in the foreground, the derrick to the left and the shack at right. Farther down the hill, a complex of small buildings and sheds can be seen in the space between two more derricks. The rest of the hills are peppered with intermittant derricks that follow the path made by a network of winding, narrow roads. Probably Brea-Olinda Oil Field.
