The aerial photograph shows a densely built residential grid with rows of houses and narrow streets, intersected by diagonal avenues and a rail line running horizontally across the middle. At the top center, a large circular park with a water feature and radiating paths is clearly visible, surrounded by open green space and nearby institutional buildings. Industrial facilities and rail yards occupy the middle portion along the rail line, contrasting with the tightly packed housing on either side. The bottom right corner includes the label "Fairchild Aerial Surveys Inc N.Y.C.," and the top right corner is marked with the code "8226-136."
