The aerial photograph shows a dense urban neighborhood with a grid of streets, intersected by several diagonal avenues. Rows of houses dominate most of the layout, with scattered larger institutional and industrial buildings. In the upper right corner, two large rectangular water basins or reservoirs are visible. Toward the top center, a sports field or stadium stands out within the dense residential area. At the lower left, a circular traffic circle with radiating streets is clearly visible, connecting multiple avenues. The bottom right corner carries the label "Fairchild Aerial Surveys Inc N.Y.C.," and the top right corner is marked with the code "8226-152."
