Title Aerial view of a potash chemical factory, September 1928

Description Photograph of aerial view of a potash chemical factory, September 1928. Near the center-bottom, a factory can be seen in the far distance. The main body of the factory is seen to the left, and three large smokestacks are visible near the body of the building. To the left and right, small clusters of buildings can be seen sitting adjacent to narrow roads connecting to the main factory. The surrounding landscape is barren in appearance. The image is heavily distorted above the factory, but the outline of a mountain range can be seen at the top of the image. Description on the back of the photoprint reads: "Looking down on Troma, with Searle's Lake, the Salt and Paramount ranges in the background".
