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 scan of a low aerial photograph depicting a section of Cuckolds Creek flowing through Cockfield Plantation in Colleton County, South Carolina. Most of the image features flat, brown grasslands, with the exception of the creek which meanders in all directions, creating an amorphous, deep blue pattern in the landscape. A narrow strip of taller, greener trees follows the river’s path on either of its banks. In the top left, a patch of bright green vegetation is partially visible.
