Rather than a single landmark, this drawing turns to the woodland that lines the Natchez Trace, showing how the forest shifts along the route as it runs north from Mississippi toward Tennessee. The parkway follows a corridor that travelers, traders and drovers used for generations before it was rebuilt as a scenic road in the 1930s, with Civilian Conservation Corps crews helping to clear and plant along its length. The corridor passes through bottomland hardwoods, upland stands of oak and hickory, and pine-dominated slopes, a mix that made the land valuable for timber and wildlife. Drawings like this one recorded those differences for visitors and land managers who needed to know what grew where.
