Photograph of Cahuenga Pass with a few cars on the road, Hollywood, ca.1940-1949. About a dozen automobiles can be seen from above and behind on a four-lane paved road traveling towards the background. The road curves towards to the left in the background. More lanes of traffic can be seen parallel to the first roadway, although the automobiles are traveling towards the bottom left. Railroad tracks are visible between the two roads. Utility poles line the streets, while hills can be seen in the background next to the roads.
