Do political jurisdiction lines (counties, parishes, towns, cities, etc.) need to be included in the route description?
Not necessarily. You are asked to provide the addresses/intersections and the GPS coordinates for the beginning and end points of the byway as well as for other key features along the byway. You’ll want to tie this into the information you’ll be providing in the Route Map (the location of each community along the route, Nominations Guide page 13) as well as the information you’ll be highlighting in section 5 of the application (Visitor Experience, page 15 of the Nominations Guide) where you’ll be providing information on major cities and gateways. Essentially you’ll want to create a complete picture that is supported throughout your application. Please note that the addresses/intersections and GPS coordinates are requested so that your byway and the features that you wish to highlight in your application can be located via common mapping software. The Nominations Guide speaks to the byway “crossing” Federal lands and electronic nomination form speaks to Federal lands “along the byway.”
