Covered Bridges Tour

The sight of a covered bridge along a quiet country road reminds us of time when things weren't as hectic. Once as common as common sense, now there are only a few. Many bridges have deteriorated and had to be removed. Thankfully, some have been maintained. Download this GPS Map to locate covered bridges in Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and Vermont.

Alternate File Format

I origionally authored this GPS map in DeLorme Transfer (.dmt) File format. The (.dmt) format is native to DeLorme's Street Atals software, which is an excellent car navigation program for lap top/mobile PC computers. If you have Street Atlas click here to download the file in (.dmt) format.
