Peaks of Otter, a pair of mountains in Bedford County, Virginia, is one of the Blue Ridge Parkway's most visited stops, and the sketches and map here show how planners and artists pictured its ridges and summits. The Parkway was conceived in the 1930s as a scenic road linking Shenandoah National Park to the Great Smokies, and it was built as a New Deal-era public works project. Drawings like these record how the land was surveyed and imagined before the road and its overlooks were finished. They are worth a close look for the way they mark the peaks, the route, and the contours of the mountains.
