If lookouts were selected on aesthetics of design, Cement Ridge would be high on the list, although the name is a bit less attractive. It is located in the Wyoming section of the Black Hills National Forest just one mile west of the South Dakota state line. The site was first used for a lookout in 1912, and a 10 steel and wooden live-in tower were built in 1921. The present stone 15’ tower with wooden 14x14 live in cab was constructed by the CCC in 1941. It is still in active use.
