Catfish Ponds

MISSISSIPPINHAP81 · NHAP02

Flat alluvial farmland in the Mississippi Delta, between the Yazoo and the Mississippi. The catfish ponds are cut into it in rectangular blocks, each one banked by levees and held under water, set among row crops on the same grid. On infrared film the ponds and the fields divide cleanly: standing water returns almost none of the near-infrared and comes back black, while the crops and levees around it register red.
