Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A digital aerial photograph of remnant rice fields taken along a section of Northeast Cape Fear River. The fields occupy much of the image’s foreground and appear green and brown in different parts, in contrast to the nearby river and canals which look silverish in the sunlight. To the right, the Dan Cameron bridge can be seen reaching over the river. In the background, close to the top of the image, Cape Fear River and Lake Sutton are also visible.
