Aerial view of the Ascot Park racetrack in Los Angeles, 1918

Photograph of an aerial view of the Ascot Park racetrack in Los Angeles, 1918. The large oval track is visible at the center of the image, with the grandstands to the left. There are empty fields below the track and fields full of trees to the right. In the upper left and lower right corners are the edges of more developed areas of the city. Horseracing stopped at Ascot in 1908, and the track was later used for sprint car races until its destruction in 1990.
