This bridge does not appear on either the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire 1873, sheet clx) or on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire 1900, sheet clxSE). It is clearly marked, however, on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1989) and on the OS 1:10000 raster map (ND).

On the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1989) and on the OS 1:10000 raster map (ND) there are two beacons marked, one to the N and one to the S of the canal, and situated just to the E of Lock No. 5 (NR89SW 40.13) and this bridge, which is at the W end of the lock.
