Site plan labels and relationships

The image is titled “PFB — Priest Ford Bridge — Nature Event Center.” In the upper-left portion is the labelled Parking Area. The Restroom Building is above and to the right of the parking area. The Seating Area is to the right of the restroom building, below the Existing Public Road. The Existing Public Road runs along the right side of the plan.

The parking area is reached by a curving drive from the public road. A path leads from the parking area to the Bridge in the lower-left/central portion of the plan and continues beyond the bridge toward the lower-right.
