Puente Hills and the rugged Turnbull Canyon overlook a landscape in transition, where the agricultural foundations of Paso De Bartolo and Santa Gertrude meet the industrial surge of the 1920s. The discovery of oil is a defining element of this era, evidenced by the dense clusters of Oil Wells around Santa Fe Springs and Fulton Wells. These petroleum fields share the flats with institutional landmarks like the Whittier State School and the sprawling grounds of the Norwalk State Hospital.
