Looks like you have it pinned in the wrong place on your Google map. My great grandfather and grandfather as well as other family members poured the south pier and probably the north pier as well when the bridge was built. Their names were cast into the footings of the south foundation. The foundation is still there but covered by mud after it washed out.
The bridge was always planked with native oak lumber 2.5" or more thick. My family has owned the land on 3 sides/corners of the crossing since 1839. I donated 5 acres for the new concrete bridge that replaced it. The new bridge is roughly 200 feet north of the old bridge site.
There is/was another bridge north but it wasn't on Kiowa road.
