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 an aerial photograph depicting an oxbow-shaped meander along the Combahee River, at the border of Beaufort and Colleton Counties. The water appears silverish at the ends and light blue toward the middle of the image, in contrast to the surrounding brown flatlands. In the foreground, patches of brown grass reveal remnant rice field ditches, while in the background, distant, taller vegetation appear greenish brown under the setting sun. They create a slightly curved horizon where they meet the evening sky.
