Terry Canyon Bridge #4, National Forest System Road 150North Star Road, Mimbres, Grant County, NM
Summary
Significance: Terry Canyon Bridge #4 is thought to be a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)-era bridge built between 1933 and 1942. The bridge is one of the better examples of CCC work on the Gila National Forest. The bridge is unique because its construction incorporates naturally occurring boulders within Bearing Wall 1, the southwestern and southeastern wings wall. 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.
