Forestry Lookouts

Over the years, to protect the public and the forests,
the government built forestry Lookouts
on strategic mountain tops

One of these was on Thornhill (aka: Copper) Mountain
at 4,800 ft.
Built in the 1920's

Thornhill Mountain, Main Forestry Lookout in the District in 1931
Postcard from Grant Walker, CA.

1931 Fred Michaud was stationed at this Lookout.
1928 the Michaud Brothers had mining claims here.
Freaky part of this picture is today, May 6, 2014,
 a granddaughter of one of the Michauds
has arrived in Terrace on a visit to her ancestors home.
Same day Grant sent me the photo above!

Aug 1931 a Professor Charles P. Smyth from PA, USA,
left 6 mile cabin on the Lakelse Rd. and took 3 hours to climb
Thornhill Mtn. to visit Fred Michaud.
He had a view of the Skeena as far as tidewater,
and half way to Hazelton.
He also could see the top reaches of Kitimat Arm,
having a view of over 30 miles from Kitamaat village.

2012 it was rebuilt. see link below

 April 1931 Forestry was building 2 more lookouts in the District.
