The aerial photograph depicts a densely built urban district with a grid of streets intersected by several wide diagonal avenues. At the upper center, a large circular plaza with radiating streets stands out prominently. Multiple other circular intersections are also visible, creating distinctive nodes in the city’s layout. The area is packed with multi-story buildings, industrial facilities, and residential blocks. Rail yards and tracks occupy the left side of the image, while the rest of the area is dominated by urban density with few open spaces. The lower right corner is labeled "Fairchild Aerial Surveys Inc N.Y.C.," and the code "8226-102" is written in the top right corner.
