- Caption
- SC - Upper Combahee. Prior to the transition from inland reservoirs to tidal irrigated rice cultivation, most SC rivers were buffered by forested bottomland swamps. These swamps were cleared - the trees often used for underpinnings of embankments. –Description from photographer, David Soliday.
- Description
- A digital aerial photograph of the upper Combahee River meandering through dense forestlands in Colleton County, South Carolina. In the left portion of the image’s top edge, the river appears dark blue in the sunlight, and gradually becomes darker, eventually appearing pitch black toward the bottom. The inner banks of two peninsulas appear flatter and lighter than the surrounding vegetation.
