The aerial photograph depicts a densely built urban area with a grid of streets intersected by several diagonal avenues. The left side of the image contains large rail yards with multiple parallel tracks, adjacent to industrial buildings. The center and right portions are dominated by blocks of tightly packed residential and commercial buildings. Several circular plazas are visible where avenues intersect. Toward the bottom center, a prominent hexagonal or octagonal structure within a larger complex stands out. The bottom right corner contains the label "Fairchild Aerial Surveys Inc N.Y.C.," and the top right shows the code "8226-101."
