They're everywhere - they're everywhere!! You just have to take the time to spot them and pull over. This is a concrete culvert which runs north-south across Highway 9, just west of Highway 54.
During the 1930's the WPA constructed several thousand culverts throughout Oklahoma, to aid in flood control, and to provide much-needed employment during the Depression. This culvert has an opening about 4 ft. wide and 2 ft. deep, and the date 1938 is shown on the WPA stamp on the curbing.
