- Caption
- GA – Ogeechee River. These extensive fields just south of Savannah are steeped in history. Maybe most notable is that Darien (to the south) was burned in 1863 by the African-American 54th Massachusetts Volunteers. In the very far distance is Henry Ford's plantation. River. Clearly, nature has not been these fields' friend. Description from photographer, David Soliday.
- Description
- A digital aerial photograph showing remnants of rice fields along the Ogeechee River. It features the Walker and Southfield Canals in the center of the image, flowing parallel each other through flat, green fields. Other canals connect to them at 90-degree angles, while smaller tributaries make irregular connections, forming vein-like patterns in the surrounding grassland. Farther south, in the background, the Ogeechee River meanders by, separating the grasslands from taller vegetation.
