The North Fork Solomon River Lattice Truss Bridge, now located on a golf course just southeast of Norton County, Kansas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 [1] when at its original location on a road near Lenora, Kansas, [2] and its registration was updated in 2008 to address its relocation. [3]
It is a single-span 40 feet (12 m)-long metal lattice truss bridge fabricated by the Canton Bridge Co. [2] It now crosses a tributary of Prairie Dog Creek on the Prairie Dog Golf Course, [4] a nine-hole golf course. [5]
It was originally located on Road W7, approximately 0.1 miles south of its intersection with Road BB (aka 15 S), approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of the town of Lenora, at 39°36′30″N100°01′49″W / 39.60841°N 100.03028°W . When originally listed the bridge's road had little traffic and the bridge was expected to survive indefinitely. [2]
Its listing was consistent with standards set in a study of historic metal truss bridges in Kansas. [6]
It was moved in 2006, [7] and its National Register registration was amended in 2008 for its proposed relocation. Its 16 feet (4.9 m) width and its load capacity were then deemed insufficient for traffic on its road. [3]
It now serves golf carts and pedestrians traversing between holes #5 and #6 of the golf course, southeast of Norton in Norton County, Kansas.

The Four Mile Creek Lattice is a historic bridge in rural Morris County, Kansas, located southeast of the community of Wilsey. The bridge, which was built circa 1890, carries a county road across Four Mile Creek. The single-span steel bridge is 35 feet (11 m) long. It has a lattice truss design, which is typified by smaller diagonal beams that form a lattice pattern; the design is also an example of a pony truss, where the trusses are above the roadbed but not connected at the top. Ornamental iron sunflowers adorn the sides of the bridge. While the bridge's builder is not documented, the design is similar to those of the Canton Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio, which also built many other bridges in Kansas during the period.
