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 a remnant rice field along the Satilla River near White Oak, Georgia. The river, which appears sea blue under the sunlight, forms a diagonal in the right half of the image. Smaller tributaries connected to the river’s main branch make snake-like patterns in the surrounding grassland. The grass along these tributaries are noticeably greener than the rest of the vegetation which looks light brown. Patches of taller trees can be seen in the top and bottom left corners.
