2007.248.1.1Description
Map of the Baldwin Hills oil field by Pan American Petroleum Company, December 1924. The map covers the area near today's Holy Cross Cemetery and West Los Angeles College in the Culver City and unincorporated Baldwin Hills area. Various tracts leased by oil companies are shown with oil company names, surnames of landowners, and numbered well sites. There are also city boundaries, what may be historic rancho boundaries, streets, Ballona Creek, and other landmarks. The Pan American site is marked "abandoned" in pencil and there are other pencil inscriptions. With many folds, some small tears, fairly heavy soiling, and creases, the condition is fair.Lexicon
