Unlike the Parkway's overlook and scenic-view drawings, this sheet is a working plan for a specific valley site: Otter Creek, in Virginia's Bedford County near the Peaks of Otter. Drawings like this one guided how roadside facilities, campgrounds, and picnic areas were laid out along the route as it was built in the 1930s and after. The Parkway was designed to fit the landscape rather than cut through it, so plans of this kind show how buildings, paths, and parking were arranged to suit the creek bottom and the slopes above it. The sheet is worth studying for the way it reflects that design philosophy at ground level.
