The Pipelines
 

On the crater rim as early as 1909 when pictures were published of them there were pipelines to bring both water and oil to the crater. There were also tanks both on the rim and in the floor of the crater to hold the water and oil. One of the tanks for water had a volume of 54,000 gallons.

As the picture shows long sections of the pipe remain today as rusting reminders of the work done ninety years ago.
