Barfoot Lookout Complex

United States historic place From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barfoot Lookout Complex was a forest lookout situated on Buena Vista Peak in the Douglas Ranger District in the Chiricahua Mountains in Cochise County, Arizona. It was built in 1935. It is hypothesized to have been built by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps[citation needed]. The complex consisted of a 14 foot by 14 foot lookout house, shed, privy, concrete cistern, and a native stone retaining wall. When it was designated by the NHRP, none of the structures had received any modifications since they had been built. The complex was approximately 80 feet by 80 feet, with the retaining wall along the west edge of the boundary.[2]
