The Natchez Trace Parkway runs roughly 444 miles from Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville, Tennessee, following the route of an old Native American trail and later a 19th-century postal and travel road. This drawing belongs to the set of schematic plans made for the motorist waysides placed along the parkway, the small rest stops with parking, picnic areas, and interpretive signs that gave drivers a place to stop along the route. Such drawings laid out the site features in simplified form so that engineers and builders could coordinate the work, and they show how the parkway was designed to fit the landscape rather than cut through it.
