Arctic Point Fire Lookout


The Arctic Point Fire Lookout is a tall fire tower located near Big Creek, Idaho. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1994. Its NRHP listing included two contributing buildings, a log cabin residence and a standard type outhouse, as well as one contributing structure, the fire tower itself.
The tower was built in 1936. It is an Aermotor Company tower topped with a 7x7 foot galvanized steel cab and is the last tower of its type still standing in a wilderness area. The cabin was added as a residence for the lookouts in 1939. It remained in use for its intended purpose until 1997, when it was decommissioned.
