The Georgia Scenic Byways program (GDOT, 2017) is a “grassroots effort … to identify,
preserve, promote and protect treasured corridors throughout the state.” There are fifteen such
corridors designated by Georgia DOT, their only protection is a restriction on roadside
billboards. Despite frequent avocation of the beauties of Georgia highways, there is no
systematic articulation of the physical attributes of a scenic landscape, how such attributes would
be identified and thus protected, nor the expertise or resources to devote to new
discoveries.
