A slightly elevated, very wide, panoramic view of Palm Springs taken from O'Donnell's Point. On the far right there is a golf course, probably the O'Donnell Golf Club, and on the left there is a courtyard planted with rows of palm trees. Between and beyond these two, there are numerous houses. The town does not extend very far, and beyond its edges the land is bare except for brush until it rises up into the nearby mountains. Writing in white in lower left corner reads "Photo by - ; C.C. Pierce & Co. ; 1572 W. Pico Blvd ; L.A. Calif ; May 1st. 1932."
