THREE BROOKS MOUNTAIN #48
Maine - Aroostook County - Maine Forestry District
1914: "The Forestry Department has erected a lookout tower on Three Brook Mountain, Township 15, Range 6, W.E.L.S., the same being of steel fifty feet from the ground to the portable house, which is seven feet square, having three windows on each side, thus giving the lookout watchman a clear view in all directions at all times. This tower is connected by telephone line (built by the state this season), with the sporting camps on Square Lake, thence private line with the settlement at Guerette and the town of Stockholm.
A watchman's camp was built about one hundred rods from the tower where a never failing spring brook gives a supply of fine water. It is sixteen feet square, has three windows of 12 x 20 glass giving ample light and air, and is equipped with stove and cooking tools. There is a telephone box in the camp as well as in the tower." (1914 forest Commissioner's Report)
