The 3rd 1948 Rikers virtual tour close-up is to the immediate right of the 2nd and encompasses the upper right corner of the full aerial image. It shows storage tanks of some kind and a marina-like facility on the Queens side in the vicinity of where a sewage treatment plant and power utility complex are now situated. On the island only a few small structures are visible in the rough terrain.

Veteran current and former NYC DOC staffers and others who can correct, refine, enhance and increase the information in the close-up image caption above are invited to do so. Include the close-up's virtual tour image number in your e-mail to the webmaster@correctionhistory.org
