World Guide Number: 37-15-06. "Crosses: Applegate River. Length: 122 feet. Year Built: 1917." "McKee Bridge was built in 1917. It is Oregons southernmost span, only eight miles from the California border. It served until 1956. The land for the site was donated by rancher Adelbert Deb McKee, whose home had also served as a stage station. The 122 ft. span is 45 ft. above the Applegate River. It is supported by a Howe truss and is stiffened with flying buttresses. A scenic park, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, is adjacent to the bridge. To get there, go through Jacksonville on highway 238 to Ruch Oregon. Turn left onto Applegate Road, following the Applegate Dam signs to the wayside of McKee Bridge.'
