The Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile scenic road that follows the route of an old footpath used for centuries by Native Americans, then by traders and travelers moving between the Mississippi River and Nashville. The drawing belongs to a tradition of landscape illustration that documented the Trace's woodland corridors and historic sites as the parkway took shape. Worth noticing is how the artist balances the open road with the dense hardwood canopy that gives the route its character, a quality that the National Park Service still works to preserve today.
