Molly,
I am almost certain that the Cottonwood Creek Bridge was moved into this location in the 1957. It is very common on the west coast to see recycled bridges in rural settings. I would also guess that you are correct in your estimates that the truss was built around 1900. There were no plaques or signs indicating an original build date or where the bridge came from.
Siskiyou County Public Works may be able to shed some light on the origins of the bridge, but even those records can be lost or destroyed over time.
I hope this information help with your question.
Cottonwood Creek Bridge

Was it built in the 50's or moved here in the 50's? The beams, cables, ornamentation, etc looks like an 1800's to early 1900's bridge.......
