Scanned aerial photograph of the lower Combahee River

National Museum of African American History and Culture

Object Details

Photograph by
David Soliday, American
Caption
SC – Lower Combahee. Simply a winter's illustration of broken fields. In the far background is the remnant of a rail line. I do not know its history. Film
Description
A digital aerial photograph depicting rice fields along the lower Combahee River in South Carolina. The image has several broken rice fields in the lower right corner, appearing golden against the deep blue of the river. The winding river and fields extend to the horizon line, with several patches of trees on either side in the background. Around the top quarter of the image, the remnants of a railway appears as a dark horizontal line across the image.
