| Date | May 1959 |
| Description | Image shows a section of the Blue Ridge Parkway, paved and lined, that curves from the center of the photograph down toward the lower left corner. A white car is seen driving around the curve. The road appears to be cut into a hillside, as the land slopes down to the road on the right side, and continues down away from the road on the left side. A wooden fence appears in the foreground, at the top of a slope on the right side of the road, and another wooden fence can be seen across the road on the left side. Scattered trees and bushes are on both sides. The rolling hills and mountains of the parkway are visible in the distance. Image taken by Jack Boucher in May of 1959. Image taken at milepost 167.4 of the Blue Ridge Parkway, near the Rocky Knob maintenance area in Floyd County, Va. |
