Note: Since the property was fenced off, the only way to photograph the bridge was long distance zooming with the Pentax camera. Needless to say in the next pics, the camera did a fantastic job.

"The Ellsworth Ranch Bridge represents an unusual variation of a Pratt truss. It is identical to two trusses found in South Dakota and Minnesota, both built in the mid-1890s by Milo A. Adams, agent of the King Bridge Company. The only one of its type in Iowa, the Ellsworth Ranch Bridge is a rare surviving example of structural experimentation by one of the country's most prolific 19th-century bridge manufacturers."
