Stone Bridge and the Oregon Central Military Wagon Road
Stone Bridge and the Oregon Central Military Wagon Road, Military road bridge in Plush, Oregon
The Stone Bridge consists of a quarter-mile causeway constructed with basalt boulders and smaller rocks dragged from Hart Mountain to form an elevated pathway.
The United States Army built this causeway in 1867 to connect Hart Lake and Crump Lake, incorporating it into the Oregon Central Military Wagon Road by 1872.
The bridge represents early military engineering and settlement efforts in Oregon, illustrating the infrastructure development during the western expansion period.
Located at coordinates 42.3547° latitude and -119.839° longitude, the site is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and accessible for historical research.
Local ranchers adapted this former military infrastructure for cattle crossing after Fort Warner closed in 1874, transforming its purpose from military to agricultural use.
