CHURCH CREEK
Dorchester County
November 1932: "A new 120-foot steel fire tower recently erected in Dorchester County, Md., about 2 miles south of Church Creek, was constructed from a design which retains a uniform taper from the base to the floor of the cab. an unusual feature in a tower of this height.
There are no hills in southwestern Dorchester County, and the site chosen for the tower being at an elevation of only 4 feet it was necessary to sink the concrete abutments approximately 2 feet below sea level. This is believed to be the first forest-fire tower to have foundations extending below sea level." (The Forest Worker)
