Elk Run Thoroughfares
The loss of the records prevents a full account of the first roads. In general, the highways were located with the same courses as they now have, and, as soon as the means of the township permitted, they were substantially improved and the streams bridged. To maintain the bridges, which have been frequently swept away by freshets, has been a heavy burden to the people of Elk Run.
