Jacob Lake Lookout Tower is located in the North Kaibab Ranger District 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Fredonia, AZ.[2]

Background

Built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), it is an 80 feet (24 m) Aermotor steel tower with a 7 by 7 feet (2.1 m × 2.1 m) metal cab and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3][4] Visitors can read about the lookout process and can still climb the tower to view the area and see the Osborne Fire Finder. The site is listed in the National Historic Lookout Register, which recognizes the fire-lookout sites across the United States, which recognises lookout sites, structures and towers for their cultural and historic significance.
