The intersection at the top of the photo is the tree-lined Redondo Blvd (now Aviation Blvd) and Belleview Blvd (now Imperial Highway). The area between Hangar No. 1 and Redondo Blvd would soon hold the North American Aviation aircraft factory. This area of Mines Field is now part of the air freight complex at the Los Angeles International Airport and only Hangar No. 1 remains.
