Today"s image features the Natchez Trace Parkway near Tupelo, United States. Long before modern maps, bison and other large animals carved the first paths here, later followed by Native Americans and, much later, "Kaintuck" traders walking hundreds of kilometres home after selling goods along the Mississippi. The route reflects around 10,000 years of human history and even links to Andrew Jackson, who travelled it during the War of 1812.
