It was nearing sunset on a cloudless hazy day at Hogback Covered Bridge in Madison County, Iowa.

Hogback Covered Bridge, built in 1884 by Benton Jones, still sits in its original location spanning 97 feet over the North River. Named after the limestone ridge that forms the valley's west end, it is a covered timber town lattice truss overlaid by a queen-post frame.

Madison County is considered the covered bridge capital of Iowa, with more covered bridges here than anywhere in the Mississippi Valley's western half. This scenic area in Iowa became famous thanks to Robert James Waller's book, The Bridges of Madison County, which then became a hit movie starring Clint Eastwood.
