Place 45: Kansas Street wooden bridge
1958; 1985Bridge over a small drainage tributary, not a bridge over the main Kenduskeag. Bill hides Silver beneath it. It is the familiar access point used again by the adults.
About Kansas Street wooden bridge
The Kansas Street wooden bridge crosses one of the small unnamed drainage streams that descends into the Kenduskeag. It is not a bridge over the main river. In 1958 Bill uses the space beneath it to hide Silver, and the path down from the bridge becomes a familiar entrance to the Barrens. The adults use the same access point in 1985, making the modest structure a durable link between the street above and the childhood terrain below.
Why this pin is marked A
Named in the novel. The street or the site is named in the text; the exact lot is the atlas’s.
This bridge receives level A because its road, watercourse type and function as an access point are all directly established. Its relationship to the Kenduskeag also makes clear which scale of stream it crosses. The atlas selects a plausible tributary and crossing along Kansas Street, but the precise drainage branch, span, bank profile and position beneath the road are not independently measured. Confidence applies to the named street and local relationship, not to an exact engineering plan.
