Calamity Butte has been in continuous use for 65 years, and in that period has probably lived up to its name! The wooden, ground level 14’ x 14’ live-in structure is a “Supervisor Hall Special” built on a revised California design. A predecessor design of the popular L-4 model, it is one of only two such lookouts known to remain in Region 6 (Oregon & Washington). This U.S. Forest Service lookout is still in active use on the Malheur National Forest.
