Neither of the two covered bridges, one over the North
Fork and another over the South Fork of Muddy Creek, is now standing. Probably
located in Section 11, Township 9 North, and Range 1 West, Monroe County,
these structures were both 40 feet long and built by the Smith Bridge Company
in about 1880. The North Fork Covered Bridge was listed as #14-53-12 in the
World Guide (according to G. Gould's 1977 list) while the South Fork Covered
Bridge was listed in this same source as #14-53-13. Both structures were
lost in about 1990.
