The Palm Fringed Nile

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The Nile River has its source in the highlands near the equator, having its source in Lake Victoria, about 4000 feet above sea level. The river is the longest in Africa. It pours out of Lake Victoria and races for hundred of miles through rapids and cataracts, then flows more slowly over plains until it reaches the Sahara, through which it winds its way, spreading out into a wide fan where it empties into the Mediterranean Sea."
