label: Description
content: A digital scan of an aerial photograph depicting remnant rice fields at the junction of Cuckolds Creek and the Combahee River. Cuckolds Creek, which can be seen along the bottom edge looks deep blue. The Combahee, which flows along the right edge, appears darkest in the bottom right corner, and almost silverish closer to the top of the image. Vestigial canals and “quarter ditches” create patterns in the water-soaked grasses adjacent to the rivers. A patch of trees stretches across the middle of the image, from the left edge until it reaches the river in the far right. The background consists of taller, greener vegetation than the brown grasslands in the foreground.
