'''Archie Stevenot''' (September 25, 1882 – August 1, 1968) was a prominent citizen in [Calaveras County, California](/source/Calaveras_County%2C_California) and Supreme Noble Grand Humbug of [E Clampus Vitus](/source/E_Clampus_Vitus). Born in [Carson Hill](/source/Carson_Hill%2C_California), Stevenot helped found the [California](/source/California) [Chamber of Commerce](/source/Chamber_of_Commerce) and his family established the [borax](/source/borax) industry in the state. He also established the Mother Lode Highway Association in 1919 which was primarily responsible for the creation of [State Route 49](/source/California_State_Route_49). As a result, the bridge across the [Stanislaus River](/source/Stanislaus_River) between [Tuolumne](/source/Tuolumne_County%2C_California) and Calaveras counties on SR 49 is named the [Archie Stevenot Bridge](/source/Archie_Stevenot_Bridge) in his honor, and his birthplace has been declared [California Historical Landmark](/source/California_Historical_Landmark) No. 769 (also found on SR 49).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sierranevadageotourism.org/entries/birthplace-of-archie-stevenot-no-769-california-historical-landmark/d7d54ade-78f9-480f-85fc-9a15506ecf7f|title=Birthplace of Archie Stevenot (No. 769 California Historical Landmark) &#124; Sierra Nevada Geotourism|website=sierranevadageotourism.org}}</ref>
