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 remnant rice fields along a section of the Ashepoo River. The river emerges close to the image’s top left edge and meanders southeastward until it reaches the right side of the image’s bottom edge. Numerous tributaries and vestigial canals connect to the river at various intervals. Just to the right of the Ashepoo, the smaller Deer Creek can be seen meandering southward as well. The fields adjacent the rivers appear brown and green, with the exception of a few patches of taller vegetation that appear deep green, especially along Deer Creek’s channel. Two of the fields in the center of the image are noticeably flooded. Close to the one that is farther left, several buildings can be seen in the distance, as well as Lavington Ln, which runs through them.
