Four uniformed men stand beside a row of parked 1930s sedans on a gravel overlook, a scene that places the viewer on the early Blue Ridge Parkway, the scenic road that was still being built through the Appalachian highlands during that decade. The parkway was conceived as a recreational route linking Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks, and its construction relied heavily on federal work programs of the Depression years. The automobiles and the men's uniforms suggest a visit or work crew at a pull-off meant for travelers to look out over the mountains, a use the road's designers planned for from the start.
