Elder's Mill Covered Bridge crosses Rose Creek near Watkinsville in Oconee County, Georgia. Built in 1897, the 100 foot structure uses a Town lattice truss. The bridge originally stood over Calls Creek and was moved to its present location over Rose Creek in 1924. It is one of the few Georgia covered bridges that still carries road traffic across a waterway. The span is a favorite subject for photographers exploring the countryside near Athens.
