Craggy Gardens sits near milepost 364 in western North Carolina, where the Blue Ridge Parkway climbs above 5,000 feet and the slopes turn into dense heath balds covered in Catawba rhododendron. These site drawings record the planning of the area's roads, overlooks, and facilities, and they show how the Parkway's designers tried to fit man-made features into a steep, exposed landscape. The Parkway was begun in 1935 as a scenic route linking Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains national parks, and its builders often shaped their work around the terrain rather than against it.
