Significance: Prior to 1940, several short-span (100' to 140') suspension bridges were built in the north central region of Texas. This concentration represents a regional adaptation to environmental conditions as well as a tradition of inventive design by vernacular builders. This study builds on the 1996 documentation of nine extant bridges of this type.
