Sycamore Row (road)
Sycamore Row is a stretch of road in Carroll County, Indiana lined with sycamore trees. The trees sprouted from sycamore logs placed in the 1830s as a corduroy road to cross swampy land on Indiana State Road 29. The site is noted by the Indiana Historical Bureau with a historical marker. Currently State Road 29 bypasses Sycamore Row and regular traffic does not travel over the road.〔Sycamore Row; Indiana Roadside Historic Marker; Indiana Historical Bureau; Deer Creek, Indiana; 1963〕
==History==
By 1837, the Michigan Road had reached Logansport.〔Effects of the Michigan Road on Northern Indiana, 1830-1860; Leon M. Gordon II; /Indiana Magazine of History/I, Vol. 44, Issue 4, pp 277-402〕 The roadway consisted of leveled dirt and log bridges, which decayed with every rain and snow fall. By 1850 the state approved funding to have the road planked. The roadbed was leveled and then covered with a wooden structure. Planking consisted of log sills or sleepers, laid lengthwise along the outer edges. Crosswise, planks were nailed to the sleepers. The planks were thick. Each sleeper run could be up to in length. When necessary, multiple sleeper sections were linked end to end. Together, these planks provided a road free of dust and mud. With age, mud holes formed under the planks and sprayed outwards and up between the planks, making some sections of roadway impassible during the muddy season.〔http://www.historicmichiganroad.org; Historic Michigan Road Society, 4/1/2015〕
Because of the initial construction and continued maintenance expenses, plank roads became toll roads or pikes. There was a toll booth at the south end of Sycamore Row in Deer Creek.〔
