  Scotts Mills Bridge, also known as Newlen Bridge, crossed Butte Creek on the Clackamas and Marion County line in the small logging community of Scotts Mills. (Population: 360 in 2013.)
  
  Reported as being built in either 1906 or 1924, the bridge was used extensively in the community until 1951 when Marion County replaced it with the present steel bridge of a Warren polygonal pony truss design on what is now known as South Nowlens Bridge Road. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
