Exterior view of an adobe with new jacketing, Bakersfield, 1938

Photograph of an exterior view of an adobe jacketed in new siding in Bakersfield, 1938. What appears to be the back porch of the adobe is shown behind the foliage of a tree to its left and one in the right foreground. Its facade has been covered in what appears to be wood clapboard. The image has been taken from a clearing in the foreground that appears to be surrounded by a chickenwire fence.; Northwest of McKittrick in the Temblor Mountains, the adobe was one of the aguajes or water holes along Camino Viego. Tradition says that while a party of early Spanish explorers camped at the cite an earthquake rent the earth and a copious spring of water ran from the earth. The country is almost devoid of foliation, but at this place immense cottonwoods, some measuring ten feet through the trunk, and fig trees, some measuring more than five feet through the trunk, surround the deserted ranch buildings. The road to the ranch runs through the lease of the Outpost Oil Company in the Temblor Oil Field.

1938年摄于贝克斯菲尔德（Bakersfield）的一座覆有全新外墙板的土坯建筑（adobe）外景照片。该建筑疑似的后门廊被左侧树木与右侧前景处的树冠掩映。建筑外立面已被看似木质壁板（wood clapboard）的材料覆盖，照片拍摄于前景处一处被铁丝网围栏环绕的空地。

该土坯建筑坐落于特姆布拉尔山脉（Temblor Mountains）麦基特里克（McKittrick）的西北侧，是卡米诺·维耶戈（Camino Viego）沿线的阿瓜耶斯（aguajes，即水源地）之一。当地传说，早年一支西班牙探险队在此扎营期间，一场地震撕裂地表，大量泉水自此喷涌而出。这片区域几乎无植被覆盖，但在此处，数棵胸径达10英尺的巨型三角叶杨与胸径超5英尺的无花果树环绕着这座废弃的牧场建筑。通往该牧场的道路穿过特姆布拉尔油田（Temblor Oil Field）内前哨石油公司（Outpost Oil Company）的租赁区块。
