Notes:

  • The location of this bridge was originally known as "Folsom Landing" and later became known as "Riverside." In 1886 the name was changed to "Riparius" to avoid confusion with another New York "Riverside" location. The suspension bridge is sometimes referenced by each of these names. To make matters even more confusing, the bridge was known as the "Fulsom Landing" bridge (instead of Folsom).
  • Removed at some point after 1919.
  • Near 1871 (suspension bridge) - Washburn's Eddy, New York, USA.
