Description
A digital aerial photograph of remnant rice fields along sections of three rivers: Black River, the Great Pee Dee River and the Waccamaw River. Black River can be seen farthest to the right, flowing from the image’s bottom right edge until it reaches the Great Pee Dee in the middle. The Great Pee Dee, which is in the middle, eventually merges with the Waccamaw, which can be seen farthest left. The two L.H. Siau Bridges can be seen in the distance, just below the confluence of the Waccamaw and the Great Pee Dee.
