ID this type of farm BRIDGE, please
What is this bridge for, exactly? Here it is, from both sides:
http://personal.morris.umn.edu/~webb...ndeBridge1.jpg http://personal.morris.umn.edu/~webb...ndeBridge2.jpg Some info: 1. It's old (obviously). Boards (for walking across) seem too rotted to hold much weight. 2. I don't think it's wide enough for a tractor to drive across, but it's obviously not just for human foot traffic, right? 3. The ditch of water beneath it is maybe 10-15 feet wide. I think it's a man-made tributary from the Chippewa River. It seems to run neatly along the boundaries of farm quarter sections in the area. The bridge seems to connect two farms across the water. Was the water used for irrigation, do you think? What role did the bridge play? Thanks if you can help (or direct me to another source). |
