Is this one too easy?
It is if you are an oilfield geologist who is familiar with Los Angeles!
This is Chaplin/Rogers Airfield* at the intersection of Fairfax Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard. The houses in the distance to the north, are in what is known today as Hollywood Hills West.
The area looks a lot different today:
* The airfield was established by Sydney Chaplin, Charlie's older brother. It was later bought by Emory Rogers and renamed.

I cannot find the name of the oilfield but immediately to the east (right) of the picture are the famous La Brea Tar Pits and the Page Museum.
