The Mahned Bridge was constructed in 1903 and spans the Leaf River in Perry County, Mississippi.
[3] The bridge was declared a Mississippi Landmark in 1996[1] and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
[4] Two iron trusses, Camelback and Pratt, comprise the main structure and are positioned on metal caissons filled with concrete.
The remote location of Mahned Bridge, several miles from the small town of New Augusta, made it a favorite gathering spot among college and high school students for star gazing and other activities.
In September 1993, the vehicle of Angela Freeman, age 17, was found abandoned at Mahned Bridge.
