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 showing remnants of rice fields along the Ogeechee River. It features the Walker and Southfield Canals in the center of the image, flowing parallel each other through flat, green fields. Other canals connect to them at 90-degree angles, while smaller tributaries make irregular connections, forming vein-like patterns in the surrounding grassland. Farther south, in the background, the Ogeechee River meanders by, separating the grasslands from taller vegetation.
