Woah is that a real photo? NY Times give it credit and a date so I’d assume yes it’s real but also it looks so fake too. That’s insane if that’s actually how areas used to look!

“By 1930, California was responsible for a quarter of the world’s oil output. In some places, derricks were set so close to one another their legs overlapped.”
