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 along sections of three rivers: Waccamaw River, Great Pee Dee River and Black River. Black River can be seen along the image’s far right edge before it meanders slightly left and converges with the Great Pee Dee River, which emerges from the lower half of the image’s left edge. The Waccamaw can be seen farthest left. Both L.H. Siau Bridges are faintly visible in the distance, rising above the Waccamaw and the Great Pee Dee, just below Waccamaw point were the rivers converge. South of Waccamaw point, Hare Island and Rabbit Island can be seen in the river, indistinguishable from each other. The fields through which the rivers flow appear bright green in the sunlight, in contrast to the water’s deep blue and the dark green of the distant vegetation.
