Description
Located on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land on the eastern reach of the Siskiyou Range and four miles north of the California border, Soda Mountain Lookout was first a L-4 cab on 6' tower built in 1933. In 1962 the Oregon Dept. of Forestry replaced it with the present ODF 14' x 14' flat roof cab on a 10' tower. Still in active service, it is near the Pacific Crest Trail. Soda Mountain is included in the new Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument created by Presidential proclamation on June 1, 2000.
