What Used To Be...

McIntosh is now just an intersection of highway 196 and 84 slightly east of the viaduct known locally as Mount McIntosh. The viaduct rises up to become the highest vantage point in all of the community about the same height of the monstrous sawdust piles located at the mill's. Now McIntosh is almost forgotten but in my early youth it was a thriving community. We had a post office and it was in operation until after zip codes were implemented. That's interesting because I remember when there were no zip codes. Never the less McIntosh's zip code was 31317.
