1944: "It is recommended that a new lookout be established on Huckleberry Mtn in section 6, T24S R1W. This should be a standard 14 x 14 foot lookout house on a thirty foot tower. There has been a warden stationed in section 35 T23S R2W, for several years. This man is unable to see any of the area at this point. We have constructed a road to Huckleberry Mtn and by moving this warden to the new location he could act as a lookout while he is at his station. Cost about $2200.00." (Douglas FPA - Oregon Department of Forestry Annual Report - 1944)
