In 1862, Wright sold the land for a town site to John Hall, who laid out Myrtle Creek in 1865. The city has two covered bridges. The first, Neal Lane Bridge, carries Neal Lane Road over South Myrtle Creek on the southeastern outskirts of the city. It was built in 1939. At long, it is one of the shortest covered bridges in Oregon and the only one with a kingpost truss. In 1990, the City of Myrtle Creek acquired timbers from the former Horse Creek Bridge in Lane County and used them to build another covered bridge over Myrtle Creek. The bridge connects a parking area to the city's Mill Site Park. Geography Myrtle Creek lies along Interstate 5 south of Roseburg and ...
