    A National Scenic Byway is a road recognized by the United States Department of Transportation for one or more of six intrinsic qualities: archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational, and scenic. The program was established by Congress in 1991 to preserve and protect the nation's scenic but often less-traveled roads and promote tourism and economic development. The National Scenic Byways Program is administered by the Federal Highway Administration . The most scenic byways are designated All-American Roads, which must meet two out of the six intrinsic qualities.

Once the four wards were developed in the mid-1730s, two additional wards were laid out. The layout of a square and eight surrounding blocks was known as a ward. The original plan was part of a larger regional plan that included gardens, farms, and out-lying villages. While some authorities believe that the original plan allowed for growth of the city and thus expansion of the grid, the regional plan suggests otherwise: the ratio of town lots to country lots was in balance and growth of the urban grid would have destroyed that balance.Oglethorpe's agrarian balance was abandoned after the Georgia Trustee period.
