A digital aerial photograph showing remnants of rice fields near Townsend, Georgia. The lower left corner of the image features the South Newport River meandering eastward through Bull Town Swamp and underneath the Georgia I 95. The river appears almost turquoise in contrast to the surrounding brownish green wetlands. After re-emerging on the eastern side of the I 95, the river becomes Blackbird Creek and appears silverish in the direct sunlight. A radio tower can be seen in the center of the photograph alongside the highway and several other buildings.
