Here's a similar view from 1958 which was taken to show the Soule Steel Co in the foreground. The Lufkin Foundry and Machine Co must be one of the buildings in the center, possibly the white-roofed one at the intersection.
"Aerial view of Soule Steel Co. (bottom left), located at 6200 Wilmington Avenue; view is looking north. Alameda St. paralleled by the SPT CO RR are at right; Wilmington Ave. is vertically at left; Randolph Street runs horizontally at upper middle and Slauson Ave. is farther up. Photograph dated January 2, 1958.".

And here's an aerial view from 1971.
