The square mile that was Mines Field can be clearly seen. The property was bordered by Belleview Blvd to the south (now Imperial Hwy), Redondo Blvd to the east (now Aviation Blvd), San Antonio St to the north (now Century Blvd), and Arizona Ave to the west (now Sepulveda Blvd). This property is now part of the air freight complex at the Los Angeles International Airport.
