The black and white aerial photograph shows a large rail yard running vertically through the center-left, with multiple parallel tracks extending along its length. Surrounding the yard are agricultural fields divided into rectangular sections. Residential neighborhoods with grid-like streets are visible along the top and left portions of the image, while a river with a curving course flows down the right side. Scattered farm buildings and tree clusters are distributed across the open land. The handwritten number “8226-1” appears in the upper right corner, and printed text at the bottom right reads: “FAIRCHILD AERIAL SURVEYS INC. N.Y.C.”
