Photograph of a birdseye view from the Planetarium at Griffith Park, March 1934. A city can be seen below from atop a hillside. A curvy road is visible to the left of center, while large two- to three-story homes can be seen along the lower parts of the road. Other residential and commercial buildings are visible throughout and into the background. A hillside can be seen towards the background at left, which is not as densely populated as the rest of the city. Shrubs and bushes can be seen on the hillside in the foreground.
