Viewpoints
A viewpoint is a named observation location from which surrounding terrain, water, or other natural features can be seen and interpreted. Unlike the other categories, it identifies a place defined by its outlook rather than a landform or hydrological system in its own right. It may be entirely natural, lightly adapted, or supported by built infrastructure, but that distinction requires feature-specific evidence.
