Description

Photograph of a birdseye view of Palm Springs, January, 1921. The budding town is in the foreground at center and consists of several small wooden houses grouped loosely around three tree-lined streets. The foreground at right is especially densely covered with trees. The desert beyond the town in the background is covered with low brush, and a tall mountain range overlooks the desert and town in the distance.
