Image is a ground-level oblique view of a wooden bridge crossing a tidal stream in middle ground, identified as Cottonwood Creek. Many log pilings support cross members that support lateral sawed beams that in turn support closely spaced cross boards that form the deck. A side rail of small diameter logs at waist height guards both sides of the deck. The approaches at both ends appear to be steep. Water under the bridge is at low tide with considerable mud exposed.
