The Blue Ridge Parkway, which runs roughly 469 miles along the crest of the southern Appalachians, was conceived in the 1930s as a scenic road tying Shenandoah National Park to the Great Smoky Mountains. This drawing sets its stretch through the Black Mountains, the highest range east of the Mississippi, and pairs a map with small vignettes of scenes along the route. The combination reflects how the parkway was promoted as a destination in its own right, with views and overlooks presented as the attraction rather than just the path between cities.
