Description

Photograph of a view of Venice-Del Rey Oil fields spaced along a river looking north, September 1930. A wide body of narrow water is shown at center, its wet banks visible to either side before justting up towards the dry ground farther to the sides. On this ground, a dense field of oil derricks can be seen, interspersed with maintenance sheds and storage drums. A bridge can be seen in the center distance, connecting the two banks.
