Photograph of an aerial view of Glendale looking northeast toward the Verdugo mountains, 1918. Most of the visible parts of the city seem to be residential, composed of small houses and tree-lined streets. There are several empty lots among the houses. In the upper left corner of the city is a large orchard with neatly planted rows of small trees. The Verdugo mountains rise up dramatically behind the city.
