Description
Photograph of a view of California's first oil refinery in Pico Canyon, Newhall, ca.1940. A series of tanks, stacks and pipes is built into a brick structure at left, and three wooden poles mark the ground across it. What appears to be a wooden cart or box stands before the poles with a tree behind it. The background is arborous and one can see the hillside in the distance.
