The Zachary Taylor Parkway is a highway that stretches from Alexandria, Louisiana, to Poplarville, Mississippi.
The corridor traverses eight Louisiana parishes and one Mississippi county.
Traveling through it, motorists encounter a diverse mix of small towns, scenic countryside, homegrown businesses, agricultural areas, tourist attractions, and plantations, but also areas beset by poverty.
