Tributary of Neosho River Bridge
Another example of why I wish road crews in counties with stone arches kept a Mason on the payroll! We have many nice ones in SE Indiana that have been devalued by a crappy concrete "Slop-job".

Another great find! It does look rather remote. It is one of a very small number of historic bridges left in Woodson County.

Long haul to this one navigating many dead-end roads in the area, and got to travel through #1-voted KS ghost town - nearby Neosho Falls.....cute little double stone arch with high waters passing through at time of photo

Yes, that "touch-up" does seem to ruin about 1/3 of the aesthetic...would love to visit at a lower water-flow time, I imagine it's even more dramatic...not sure will ever make it back to this spot however, as mentioned, very rural and got one of those looks from a local in a truck passing by like "you have to be lost....need directions?".
