Several stops south and east of Claremore, OK

This old trestle bridge over Boggy Creek at the confluence of the Verdigris River, was probably once part of Keetonville Road.

The current Keetonville Road, just to the north of this bridge, was washed out a number of years ago and is closed beyond this point.

The old road up Keetonville Hill is still visible to the right (north) of this new pass.

After much digging, and relocation, of all the rock from this area, the road now runs straight through this hill towards Owasso.
