Mount Pisgah rises about 5,700 feet in the Pisgah National Forest of western North Carolina, and this sheet records the mountain as it was pictured for the Blue Ridge Parkway, the scenic road that was planned to link Shenandoah National Park with Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Parkway work began in the 1930s as a Depression-era project, and designers and draftsmen produced pictorial drawings like this one to show how the road would frame views, slopes and overlooks. Worth noticing is how the drawing treats the mountain as a scene to be framed from the road rather than a summit to be climbed.
