It was named for steamboat captain John \"Jack\" Mellon, though the name was misspelled. By 1915 the station carried the name Topock, which the \u003ca title=\"Read the Topock Route 66 guide\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theroute-66.com\/topock.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTopock Route 66 guide\u003c\/a\u003e traces to a Mojave word meaning \"to drive piles\" or, by another account, \"bridge.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA flood destroyed the ferry in 1914, and for a time cars crossed on planks laid over the railroad bridge. Then came the Old Trails Bridge. The \u003ca title=\"Read the National Park Service page on the Old Trails Bridge\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/places\/old-trails-bridge.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Park Service\u003c\/a\u003e says Arizona, California and the Bureau of Indian Affairs built the steel arch for the National Old Trails Road, with an 800-foot length and a 600-foot span. The guide dates its completion to February 20, 1916, and notes that it was the longest arch bridge in America until 1928. Route 66 used it from 1926, and sources place the end of its car traffic at 1947 or 1948. Its deck was removed in 1948 for a natural gas pipeline, and the bridge joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe road changed course around it. According to the guide, Route 66 moved onto the old railroad bridge in 1947, and the I-40 bridge replaced that in 1966. In 1952 the highway left Oatman and followed the railroad through Yucca. Hollywood noticed the crossing. The guide describes a long 1940 scene in The Grapes of Wrath in which the Joads reach Topock and cross the river, and Wikipedia says the crossings appear in the opening credits of Easy Rider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNature lies close by.
