Black Canyon Big Bridge, National Forest System Road 150North Star Road, Mimbres, Grant County, NM

Significance: Black Canyon Big Bridge is thought to be a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)-era bridge built between 1933 and 1942. The bridge is one of the only examples of a double span bridge built by the CCC on the Gila National Forest. In addition, the bridge is associated with the NFSR 150/North Star Road corridor. This road was built in large part and used by the US military in the late 1800s and played a great role in the early development of what eventually became the Gila and Aldo Leopold Wildernesses in the twentieth century.
