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 near the junction of Cuckolds and Folly Creeks. The junction itself can be seen along the photograph's right edge, with Folly Creek flowing from the top of the image and Cuckolds Creek flowing from the bottom. To the left of the confluence, brown wetlands are visible, separated from greener, drier ground by a narrow strip of trees. Two large green fields, also separated by narrow strips of trees, occupy much of the left half of the photograph. A small building with a red roof is perched on one edge of the leftmost field. Greener, denser forests can be seen in the distance at the top of the image.
