Description
Photograph of a Signal Hill oil well view, ca. 1929. A small building can be seen in the right foreground. A pile of earth and gravel can be seen in the left foreground, and, in the center foreground, an automobile can be seen parked in front of many oil derricks in an oil field. The view of the oil derricks extends into the distance. Cylindrical oil storage tanks surround the oil derricks, and utility poles can be seen interspersed among the oil derricks, connected by utility lines.
