Adjusted the pin on this, as per the views from Historic Aerials, it turns out this actually crossed the river at the west curve where the river turns north. The road then ran along the north side of the river going east.
Best I can narrow down the time of removal is that by 1999, it's gone.
I'd love to know more about where by Gaylord this was moved to, though.
