Few landmarks in the Appalachians were drawn with as much care as the Blue Ridge Parkway, and this sheet shows its overlooks as engineering elements rather than scenery. The Parkway was conceived in the 1930s as a scenic road linking Shenandoah National Park in Virginia with Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee, and its pullouts were designed to frame long views across the ridges. Technical sheets like this one record the grading, retaining walls, and parking layouts that let a motorist stop safely on a curve. Look closely at how the drawing balances the road's gentle alignment against the natural contours of the land.
