Photograph of a numbered panoramic view of Sonora Town showing
the first settlement, Los Angeles, [s.d.]. The photograph,
edited in marker with numbers and written commentary, shows the
burgeoning Sonora Town with wide, unpaved roads and residence-
like buildings spaced on disperse blocks in an unorganized
arrangement. The block at center seems to be surrounded by a
fence, although it contains several buildings of differing size
arranged into the corners of the block making an empty space at
its center. What appear to be wheel-tracks can be seen in the
road, and mountains are visible in the background. Legible
comments include: "House in which Mr. P. once lived.", "House in
which Mr. Prudhomme lived as a youth.", and "On the X corner
John Dodson had his Soap factory. It is the site of the first
Plaza Chruch."
