The drawing sets out the different fence styles used along the Blue Ridge Parkway, the scenic highway that winds through the mountains of Virginia and North Carolina. Construction began in 1935 and the road was not finished until 1987, so its fences were built over five decades by many crews. Parkway designers favored rustic styles that blended into the hillsides, such as split-rail, post-and-rail, and stone, rather than the plain wire or painted boards common on ordinary roads. Comparing the designs shows how the road's builders tried to keep the views free of clutter.
