Cumberland Knob, a wooded summit near the North Carolina and Virginia line, is the subject of this site plan drawing for its recreation area. Plans like this one show how planners laid out roads, parking, picnic grounds and trails so that visitors could reach the overlook and move through the land without damaging it. The Blue Ridge Parkway, which runs along the crest of the mountains from Virginia to North Carolina, was built in the 1930s and 1940s as a scenic route, and its developed areas were drawn up in the same spirit: to frame long views and keep the roadside landscape intact.
