Davis Mountain Lookout Site

History

A lookout was built in 1933. It was a 40 foot round timber tower with an L-4 cab.
Also a 16x18 garage was built. Not much remains.

August 7, 1950: " An abandoned camp fire was blamed for the more serious of two fires which had started up Davis Mountain from the east shore of Davis lake. The fire was spotted and brought under control by Tom Morris, Davis mountain lookout. The fire threatened a stand of marketable pine timber and was confined to less than an acre."
