The lookout inventory says there was a cabin in the 1930s. A lookout is labeled on the 1932 Columbia National Forest map. From the photo survey panoramics taken on August 26, 1937, we see the photos were taken at 25 feet above ground, and they call it a lookout tower. The 1937 recreation map also shows a structure. In 1946, a USGS party said there was a Forest Service Lookout called Termination Point. When they revisited in 1953, they said the Forest Service lookout had been dismantled.
