About this Item
| Title | Craggy Gap from Bee Tree Road |
| Date | June 8, 1935 |
| Description | An interesting angle, showing the mountains before they were affected by the Blue Ridge Parkway. Photo taken by "EHA" (Edward H. Abbuehl) on June 8, 1935 at Milepost 364. |
| Commentary | Since it was taken in 1935, construction on the Blue Ridge Parkway was only just about to start. This photo was probably taken right before or during the beginning of construction. Construction in Bee Tree Reservoir (where this picture was taken from) was well underway by 1940. |
