Everybody loves a nice old stone bridge. Recently, I learned that there are dozens of great stone bridges in Washington County, Maryland, including a few that I had missed, literally in plain view. These National Road bridges had been widened, such that only one side of the bridge is still stone. Also, with modern railings, the historic stone bridges may be all but invisible to the modern driver.
These include the bridge over Antietam Creek:
as well as the bridge over Beaver Creek:
The stone arch bridge on the National Pike on the north end of Boonsboro is even more hidden:
Also, there are those features that one just doesn't see, like the Cool Hollow culvert:
