Photograph of an aerial view of the Riverside Airport, showing a mountain ridge at center in front of a residential area, March 1932. Two cleared strips of land cross in the foreground and have the word "Riverside" written along the edge of the path. There is a large circle visible at the intersection. At center a small ridge with navigateable paths, or roads, on either side can be seen leading to a residential area. In the distance there are distinctive plots of land as well as a stretch of mountains which are faintly visible. The picture card lists the time as 11:53 AM.
