content: SC –Folly Creek. I've always liked this winter scene as a perfect illustration of the loss of the defining “quarter ditches" in a rice field. Quarter ditches dug for rice fields if laid end to end would stretch about 22,000 miles. Cockfield Plantation, White Hall, SC.–Description from photographer, David Soliday.
label: Description
content: A digital scan of an aerial photograph depicting a section of Folly Creek as if flows through Cockfield Plantation in White Hall, South Carolina. Much of the left half of the image features the green tops of the forests below. To the right of these forests, Folly Creek appears black as it meanders through the surrounding light brown remnant rice fields. A thin strip of trees follows the river on either of its banks. On the bank seen on the right, parallel lines that connect to vestigial canals can be seen in the brown grass, while another patch of denser forests is depicted in the top right corner.
