Jefferson County contains many hills and valleys with ample trees and open space, creating beautiful views for commuters and passersby alike. The county provides beautiful spring blossoms, full summertime foliage and an explosion of color during the fall. Along with the trees and views, Jefferson County has many local, state, and national historical places throughout the county. Two such areas are the Highway 21 and Highway M corridors. The drives along these two corridors provide stunning valley views and historical sites. The Jefferson County Planning Division is currently working on a proposal to preserve the beautiful scenery for generations to come.

In June 2006, the Planning Division received notice that the "Jefferson County Scenic Byway" project will receive funding in the 2007 Fiscal Year for preparation of a Corridor Management Plan (CMP). The County will receive up to $88,000 in federal funds with up to $22,000 being matched with local in-kind resources.
