Side-by-side views of several overpasses make this drawing a study in how a single road's crossings were designed. The Natchez Trace Parkway, a scenic route through Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, was built by the National Park Service beginning in the 1930s, largely following the old Natchez Trace footpath and wagon road. Its overpasses carry local and cross traffic above the parkway, and many use stone-faced concrete arches meant to blend with the wooded landscape. Comparing them on one sheet shows how engineers balanced span, clearance and appearance along the route.
