label: Description
content: A digital scan of a photograph depicting a section of the Combahee River near the Harriet Tubman Bridge in South Carolina. The left section of the photo features patches of trees that appear dark green in contrast to the adjacent light brown and greenish-brown remnant rice fields. The Combahee River looks black as it meanders through the center and right of the image. In the bottom right, a remnant field is visible. The grass on this field is considerably greener than the rest of the fields and is bordered by a prominent canal that follows the outline of the riverbank. Vestigial canals create geometric shapes in the topography. These canals are further divided into smaller “quarter ditches.” A single islet is also visible in the river, just north of the prominent green field.
