Constructed by the CCC, this lookout has a BC-301 cab atop an L-701 tower. There were major tower revisions in 1972. The lookout is no longer actively used for fire detection, but is used as a site for repeaters used by CalFire (formerly CDF) and other agencies. It maintains its form and design integrity. Additional massive radio towers dwarf the lookout. A 2,000 gallon concrete water storage tank is on the west side of the lookout. In 1977 CDF announced intentions to dispose of the site as surplus. Several endangered plants were native to the site. In 1979 the property was transferred to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and with surrounding property owned by the county and the US Bureau of Land Management, the Pine Hill Preserve was established.
