Aerial view from position above Huntington Drive near Holly Avenue intersection looking north over Santa Anita Park. Colorado Place and Huntington Drive are seen coming together at right side of photo. Note how small the deodar (?) trees planted along Huntington Drive and Colorado Place are. Row of trees seen in center of photo were apparently left from Ranch days and were later removed.

Dark, tree-lined street completely bisecting photo from west to east just above, is Duarte Road. Santa Anita Park Race Track is at upper right edge of photo. Smaller oval nearby is a training track. The incomplete oval in upper left is the race track that Anita Baldwin and Joe Smoot attempted to build in 1933 but abandoned the project. Huntington Drive and Colorado Place form a "y" just east of Santa Anita Park Race Track. Note grove of olive trees on land where City Hall is located today (240 W. Huntington Drive, Arcadia). Baseball diamond in upper right corner of photo, just below the convergence of the "y" is at Arcadia County Park. Corrected description as of 11/04/2008.
