The aerial photograph depicts a river crossing with a prominent bridge connecting two urban areas. On the lower half of the image, a dense residential neighborhood spreads out in a grid pattern, interspersed with parks, sports fields, and industrial buildings along the waterfront. Two circular landscaped areas and multiple playing fields are visible near the shoreline. The upper half of the image shows the opposite bank with a smaller neighborhood along the river. Several ships and docks are present along the waterfront, and a breakwater or barrier extends across part of the river. The bottom right corner carries the label "Fairchild Aerial Surveys Inc N.Y.C.," and the code "8226-146" is written in the top right.
