List of all State Lookout Towers on July 1st, 1942

Home
AWS in Washington
WillhiteWeb.com
This list was found in the National Archives in Seattle while investigating AWS documents. The list was provided to the AWS to help them pick locations for observation sites. Numerous finds and confirmations have been a result of this list, especially the existance of lookouts prior to previous thought start dates. The DNR continued to built many lookouts after 1942, and they also took ownership of numerous Forest Service lookouts, but I believe this list is complete. Below are the images I have for each one before they were replaced with newer types or torn down.
