    Not really disputing your claim, but the letter “s” looks suspiciously squeezed in; perhaps added at a later date (but who knows when?).

      Interesting point Dave. I obtained the map from our history museum, but who knows for sure. Anything is possible. I thought the facts as presented were immensely facinating. The printing may have suffered from plan ahead defects. Look how Bridge is running up on shore. Thanks for taking the quiz & for commenting. Joseph Boyle

        I actually spent a couple of nights under that bridge in the fall of 1961 if memory serves correctly; some beef with my parents. The lake was pretty low that summer and plenty of room was available. We must have worked things out because the following summer they let me get my first motorcycle. :>)

          Mr Shaw, Happy to hear you worked out the beef with your parents. Interesting to learn of your unique relationship with our bridge. We should run a quiz; True or False: Somebody named Dave slept under the bridge. Joseh Boyle
