View, looking west across the North Branch of the Chicago River from Goose Island, of scrap metal, sand and gravel yards with numerous industrial cranes. These yards are located along North Magnolia Street, north of West Blackhawk Street. The large elevated billboard platforms visible in the center of the photograph are still standing at the intersection of West Le Moyne Street and North Elston Avenue.
