Newhall Refinery Photos


All photos were taken in November of 2009 (unless otherwise indicated). Much of the surface junk and structures have now been removed. Anything left that has a surface is covered with graffiti.


The refinery is on private property

Electrical wires coming out of the pvc pipes


Rusted out underground pipe. There must be a lot of these under the property.


This almost looks like an archaeological dig from some lost city


Large foundation on northwest side of refinery



These red pipes probably provided water in case of a fire


This large tank looms over the refinery



Looking west toward Sierra Highway



Old aerial photos show a second big tank in this area behind the still existing big tank


Some sort of plastic lined holding area on the west side of the road up to Beale's Cut


Nice entrance to executive building with reserved parking nearby



This and the next two wide shots were taken September 13, 2021.



The large tank was always a popular place for graffiti. Around 2017 two openings were cut out. At times, people lived inside. This and the next six shots of the tank were taken June 10, 2018.
