This drawing sheet records one of the less visible tools used to shape the Blue Ridge Parkway: the arrangement of farmland and scenic easements along its route. Construction of the parkway began in 1935, and the National Park Service needed to control what visitors would see from the road as well as the land under the roadbed. Agricultural leases let working farms continue on land the government had acquired, while scenic easements restricted development on neighboring property. Together, these arrangements kept the rolling pastures and wooded ridges the parkway was designed to frame.
