Auchumpkee Creek Covered Bridge

Built in 1892, this bridge spanned Auchumpkee Creek in southern Upson County until floods destroyed it in 1994. The bridge was rebuilt in 1997, using pieces from the original structure. In 1892 the bridge was built at a cost of $1,195. The cost of rebuilding in 1997 was $209,000.

The bridge name varies in spelling. It is found recently spelled "Auchumpkee" or Auchumpchee."
