Rather than the full span, this view isolates the southwest abutment, the stone mass that carries the bridge's weight and anchors it to the canyon wall. Yellowstone's early roads and bridges were built largely under Army oversight from 1886 to 1918, when the War Department administered the park. Images like this were often made as technical records, so the masonry, joints, and bearing points show how the structure met its rugged site.
