A black-and-white aerial photograph taken by Fairchild Aerial Surveys Inc., N.Y.C., showing a rural landscape combining agricultural land, a settlement, and extensive rail infrastructure. The upper right portion of the image contains a large rail yard with numerous parallel tracks and switching areas connected by multiple curved lines. A bridge or elevated roadway crosses the tracks diagonally. Farmland with rectangular field divisions extends across most of the image, intersected by a grid of rural roads. A small town or cluster of houses appears in the upper left corner. Wooded areas and a winding creek can be seen near the bottom right. The number “8226-302” is written in white in the upper right corner, and printed text in the lower right reads “FAIRCHILD AERIAL SURVEYS INC. N.Y.C.”
