Scope and Content Note

This series consists of 1:4800 scale aerial photographic transparencies created by the Tri-State Transportation Committee (CT, NJ, NY). Areas covered by the committee were the southern portion of New York, western Connecticut, and northern New Jersey. New York counties covered were Rockland, Orange, Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, Nassau, Suffolk, New York, Kings, Queens, Bronx, and Richmond.

Maps are numbered 1 through 966 with gaps. Each map is also labeled with two numbers corresponding to x and y axis coordinates on an unidentified and unavailable key map or maps. Each photo measures 38" x 36" and is gridded into half mile squares. Label information includes names of counties depicted, 1:2000 index map sheet number, and position of the sheet on a reduced outline map of the overall project. The maps were originally designated "Planfile 4. 400' Aerial Cronaflex, 1961-1962." Names of most streets and roads are printed on the maps as well as the names of some physical features.

Each map is also labeled with two numbers corresponding to x and y axis coordinates on an accompanying key map. Each photo measures ca. 30" x 30". A few names of streets or roads are printed on the maps as well as a few names of municipalities.
