Description

Photograph of a birdseye view of an oil tank farm, May 1933. At center dozens of large cylindrical storage tanks cover a rectangular plot of land. Towards the right side of the oil tank farm, several structures are visible, including tall smokestacks. Paved roads surround the farm. The area in the foreground is mostly open, with several small trees visible. In the background hundreds of small buildings sprawl across the image from left to right.
