Cottonwood Creek Bridge in Fallon County, Montana near Ismay was built in 1934. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. During 1926-1941 at least 1,242 timber stringer bridges were built in Montana; this is one of very few intact survivors.^[1]

It was listed as part of a state-wide study of timber stringer bridges.^[2]

It was built by Emil Prahl and Henry Sawtell, both of Miles City, to standardized plans provided by the Montana Highway Department. It is a five-span continuous treated timber stringer bridge which is 95 feet (29 m) long and 20 feet (6.1 m) wide with roadway width of 19 feet (5.8 m). Its ends are supported by timber abutments and wingwalls braced with wood pilings. The spans are between four sets of treated timber pile bents made of Douglas fir.^[3]
