Liste der Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks
In der Liste der historischen Meilensteine der Ingenieurbaukunst, englisch List of Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks, sind die von der American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) bezeichneten Meilensteine des Bauingenieurwesens aufgeführt. Das Projekt zur Bezeichnung der Meilensteine begann 1964. Die Auszeichnung wird an Projekte, Bauwerke und Orte in den USA als National Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks (deutsch Nationale historische Ingenieurbaukunst-Meilensteine), und in der übrigen Welt als International Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks (deutsch Internationale historische Ingenieurbaukunst-Meilensteine), vergeben. 2013 waren mehr als 250 Baudenkmäler in der Liste aufgeführt.[1][2] Die von den lokalen Sektionen des ASCE bezeichneten Meilensteine auf der Ebene einzelner US-Bundesstaaten oder auf lokaler Ebene sind hier nicht aufgeführt.

Streetside view of the Beginning Point of the U.S. Public Land Survey, a monument marking the site that served as the basis for the entire Public Land Survey System — the system by which most of the United States, outside of the original colonies, was surveyed. Located on the Ohio/Pennsylvania border east of downtown East Liverpool, Ohio, it is split between the city of East Liverpool and the borough of Ohioville in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Erected in 1881 by a joint commission of Ohio and Pennsylvania surveyors, the monument was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1966. The road on which it lies is Ohio State Route 39 and Pennsylvania Route 68.

Statue of Liberty (more formally, Liberty Enlightening the World, and more colloquially, Lady Liberty) is a structure located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, presented to the United States on the centennial of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence as a gift from France. It was designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and gets its green coloring from patination of the outer copper covering. The statue is world-renowned for being the first thing sea-borne visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans see upon entering New York Harbor and has been known as a beacon of freedom to much of the world. It earned UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1984.

Dunlap's Creek Bridge was the first cast iron, metal arch bridge in the United States. It was designed by Richard Delafield and built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.[1] Constructed from 1836 to 1839 on the National Road in Brownsville, Pennsylvania enroute to the Brownsville Bridge to Washington County, PA, it remains in use today. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark (1978).

It is located in the Brownsville Commercial Historic District and supports lower Market Street, the local main thoroughfare and lower town 'main street'. Facing north from Dunlap's Creek, looking up Market Street and along the eastward direction of National Road, the town and street layout forms the shape of a huge check-mark, climbing for several city blocks, then bending sharply more than 90 degrees and climbing the ridge of the drainage divide between the two tributary valleys to far off Cumberland, Maryland at the head of the Potomac River and the port of Baltimore, Maryland. This made each of these municipalities a key overland waypoint on the near-west Emigrant Trail as Americans began colonizing the midwest.
• Due to the steep sides of the Monongahela River valley, there is only room for two short streets parallel to the river's shore and graded mild enough to be comfortable to walk before the terrain rises too steeply for business traffic. BOTH are visible in this view. The square concrete arch is actually a building foundation, the other lower street is visible in the far distance.
• Background: Two right bank large tributary streams of the Monongahela River drainage basin along the west side of the Allegheny Mountains barrier range, Redstone Creek and Dunlap's Creek, created conditions that formed a valuable ramp-like sloped terrain enabling Amerindians (for centuries) and colonials to reach a ford (crossing) the wide barrier of the Monongahela. Descending between the two small rivers, Nemacolin's Trail/the National Pike path has to cross Dunbar street to reach the ford on the upstream side of the confluence. The same two creeks and cross-river flats of West Brownsville, Pennsylvania became centers of river boat construction, giving Brownsville a historic edge as a industrial and outfitting center in near-western communities keeping it larger than Pittsburgh into the 1850s.
