As the corner of 90^th & H looks today, houses, trees and everything else is gone.

As the corner of 90^th & H looks today, some of the old well equipment is there but not working.

The demise of the ranch was caused by everybody pumping so much water out of the Antelope Valley aquifer that there was almost no water left!

As the ranch looks today!  All dried up.
