The black and white aerial photograph shows a landscape dominated by farmland divided into rectangular plots. A winding river curves across the top right portion, bordered by tree-lined banks. Parallel rail lines run vertically down the center, with sidings and cleared areas visible. Small clusters of houses and farm buildings are scattered throughout, particularly on the right side where a small settlement appears along intersecting roads. In the lower portion, an excavation or quarry area with cleared ground is visible adjacent to the rail lines. The handwritten number “8226-329” appears at the top right, and printed text at the bottom right reads: “FAIRCHILD AERIAL SURVEYS INC. N.Y.C.”
