Description
Photograph of Sepulveda Boulevard near Mulholland Highway, before widening and paving, February 17, 1934. This view is from a point 1700 feet south of Mulholland Highway. The dusty road hugs the mountain side as it curves into the distance from the left foreground. Electrical poles stand against the rock wall on the left side while overgrown grass and shrubs sit on the cliff's edge on the right. Trees cover the hills in the background. Compares to USC-0-1-1-724 taken after road improvement.
