    Visual Materials

    A panoramic view of the Kettleman Hills oil field in Kings County. The image is taken from North Dome, facing east towards a rolling landscape with only low scrub growing. There is one oil derrick on the left side in the foreground, and about sixteen more spread across the hills in the background. The foreground oil rig is labeled "N.A. Blauvelt (?) No. 1." In addition to the rig itself, there are a few sheds and circular storage tanks, and a pair of automobiles parked nearby. There is another circular storage tank on a hill on the far right. Numerous dirt roads cut across the landscape, a few of which have power/telephone lines running alongside of them. Writing in white in bottom center reads "Photo No 4 By ; C.C. Pierce & Co. ; 1572 W. Pico St. ; L.A." and "N.E. Slope, N. Dome ; Kettleman Hills ; 3-9-1931."
