The Watson Settlement Covered Bridge crosses B Stream, a branch of the Meduxnekeag River, in Littleton, Aroostook County, Maine. Built in 1911, it is the farthest north and the youngest of Maine's original covered bridges, using a Howe truss. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, though it was later delisted in 2023. The bridge has been closed to vehicle traffic and has suffered deterioration over the years. It is preserved as a historic structure and remains a notable landmark in northern Maine.
