While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• Roads designated as National Scenic Byways (NSBs) must have noteworthy features in one of one of six categories.
• These features can be significant for their scenic, natural, historic, cultural, recreational, or archaeological appeal.
• The Country Music Highway in Kentucky was selected to be an NSB because of the cultural features along its route.
• It provides access to theaters, music festivals, and museums.
• The Illinois River Road in Illinois was selected because of the natural features along its route.
• It provides access to river bluffs, wetlands, and prairies.
