"Cumberland's back pages," part of 'The Parkways Projects,' to be an 11 tiered essay about 4 of the National Park Service's most beloved National Parks. The Blue Ridge Parkway & the Skyline Drive Parkway are both National Parks, each with a singular shared goal, to connect the Great Smoky Mountain & the Shenandoah National Parks by an historic scenic ribbon in the sky. From Joseph Hyde Pratt’s vision in 1909 (although he was responding to earlier dreams dating back 75 years earlier) when a great road of commerce was proposed by some visionary North Carolinians. By the early 1930s, commerce was driving the imagined vehicular traffic along the crests of the Southern Appalachians, more specifically the Blue Ridge mountains. By 1934, minds in the North Carolina Legislature & the Whitehouse were reconsidering the primary purpose of the road as more of a local access road for resident & a scenic parkway for tourists wishing to visit either the Shenandoah or the Great Smoky Mountains both—via a splendid parkway which would retain the natural beauty of the land from Northern Virginia to Western North Carolina & parts of Eastern Tennessee. It was considered by most a task so visionary, so Herculean in nature that it could not be done. It was then the great controversies began, many emerging from the eastern counties of Tennessee. "The TVA was created by Congress in 1933 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Its initial purpose was to provide navigation, flood control, electricity generation, regional planning & economic development to the Tennessee Valley, which had suffered from lack of infrastructure & even more extensive poverty during the Great Depression than other regions of the nation." ≈ Wikipedia What also had formed concurrently to the TVA was the storied Civilian Conservation Corps—assigned the task to build the Cumberland Lake Dam Bridge, with its beautiful seven arches structure in golds of stone, leaves & vivid blue sky you see here today.
