label: Description
content: A digital aerial photograph of remnant rice fields at the confluence of Folly and Cuckolds Creeks. Cuckolds Creek appears bluish black as it meanders eastward, from the image’s left edge, through the remnant fields, which look brown and sometimes golden in the sunlight. Meanwhile, Folly Creek meanders westward, from the image’s top right corner, until it merges with Cuckolds, forming a T shaped confluence, before flowing diagonally to the image’s right edge. The vegetation along the riverbanks is taller and greener than the nearby fields. In the distance, a building that appears white with a red roof can be seen. Fields extend in front of the building, while behind it there is denser, taller vegetation. A narrow shadow within the vegetation is also behind the house, indicating the path of the nearby White Hall Road. The shadow stretches from the left edge of the image to the top right corner.
