Aerial photographs were taken on December 4, 1956, at the request of U.S. Oil & Refining Co. of the petroleum tank "farm" on the Tideflats heading toward town. The huge light-colored cylinders dot the landscape. U.S. Oil had broken ground in July, 1955, for a new 10-million dollar oil refinery on an 120 acre site in the Tideflats. TPL-5897
