Bridge on Valley Road (Location Key)

The wooden bridge over the stream where V.K. Suratt stops to get water for his radiator in Flags in the Dust is somewhere between the road that leads off to Hub's farm and Jefferson, but its precise location is not provided. The novel describes its terrain in particularly sylvan terms: the water "chuckles and murmurs," the stream is lined with "willows" that, in the moonlight, cast "delicate" shadows on "the pallid planking of the bridge," and so on (139).
