TANNER BUTTE
Hood River County - Mt Hood National Forest - 1N-7E-14
October 1931: "Tanner Butte, also commonly known to lookouts as Bughouse Butte, now boasts a new house. Tom Brown did an admirable job, not only of rock work in shooting off the top of the peak but also in carpentering and painting. It's quite the show place of the district now, except there is no one to show it to inasmuch as it is within the Bull Run Reserve." (Six Twenty-Six)
August 20, 1937: "Within three weeks the new Forest Service phone line from Eagle Creek Station to Tanner Butte Lookout will be completed and ready for service.
In the past years all look-outs and guard stations have been called through Indian Mountain Look-out. With this new section of line in service, the stretch between Indian Mountain and Tanner Butte will be abandoned and those stations--Tanner Butte, Nesmith Point, Larch Mountain, Camp A, Walker Prairie, and Pepper Mountain, formerly served through Indian will be connected through Eagle Creek and Tanner Butte. Most of the Indian Mountain - Tanner Butte line is in the Bull Run Reserve and is very high country, which has been difficult to maintain.
For nearly two months, Wyeth C.C.C. boys have been working on this new line which follows the new Tanner Butte trail past Dublin Lake into the Bull Run Reserve. From Eagle Creek the usual line will be used to the Columbia Gorge Station." (The Bonneville Dam Chronicle)
