CHINQUAPIN POINT
Lincoln Counnty - Siuslaw National Forest - 12S-8W-10
1934: A lookout tower was constructed. (Six Twenty-Six)
August 1936: "Guard's wife pinch hits in fire emergency. Splendid cooperation by Nell Springer, wife of C.D. Springer, emergency guard, Harlen district, aided materially in checking a fire in that section.
Mr. Springer was away on a fire at the time and Mrs. Springer, from Chinquapin Lookout, spotted a new fire starting up in a high hazard area. She immediately called the Ranger Station and although the location of the fire was such as to make it very difficult to check up, she determined the location with such exactness that the crew dispatched to it was able to reach the place in the minimum of time.
Mrs. Springer has been of assistance on several occasions and her help is always greatly appreciated.
We suggest for her the title -- Honorary Lookout. H.A. Welty" (Six Twenty-Six)
