I happened across the following two snapshots earlier this evening on eBay.
"Outdoor Sets, Columbia Studios, Burbank Calif."
Columbia Studios was located in Hollywood's "Gower Gulch", so this must be the Columbia Ranch in the valley.

old file / no date.
I've been trying to locate the buildings in this aerial of the old Columbia Ranch in Burbank (I haven't had much luck....yet)
while googling...I also found this interesting tidbit.

Here are the eBay pics enlarged
This one was obviously taken just beyond the perimeter of the "ranch". (at first I thought this was the studio's power-plant)
above: old western street? (if only we could see the other side of that hanging sign)
