Description
Photograph of an oil well with a pump house in the foreground, ca.1930. A dirt road extends from the foreground until it bends out of view to the left just before it reaches an oil well under a short, wooden derrick at center. The derrick stands in a yard of tall grass with small, wooden structures surrounded by tall trees on the far right. A dilapidated, wooden structure stands on the left with large panels of the ceiling and walls missing. The structure stands at the top of a short hill on the left with a ladder leaning against the slope.
