Notes
  • Pumpkin Hollow Bridge was actually constructed in 1922 not 1924 as indicated on drawing 9.
  • Significance: Construction of the Generals Highway to the Giant Forest challenged engineering practices of the time. The highway and related infrastructure was designed to blend with the surrounding landscape, creating a distinctively rustic and unique park road.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N208
  • Survey number: HAER CA-140
  • Building/structure dates: 1921-1935 Initial Construction
