The image shows an aerial survey photograph of a mixed urban and park area. The left and lower sections feature tightly packed residential blocks arranged in a grid, intersected by several diagonal streets that create irregularly shaped blocks. Toward the upper portion, a large park dominates the landscape, with wooded areas and an intricate network of winding paths forming circular and irregular shapes. In the center-right, a circular intersection and several large institutional or civic buildings with open grounds are visible. Additional smaller parks and landscaped areas appear scattered throughout the urban fabric. The number “8226-182” is written in the top right corner, and the bottom right corner is labeled “Fairchild Aerial Surveys Inc N.Y.C.”.
