November 30, 1930: "George Gowan, J. Cuddly and A. Brown of the California forest experiment station at Berkeley are making an intensive fire lookout study of the Sacramento canyon ranger district. These men are climbing all possible lookout points and making maps of all the area seen from each. The purpose of the study is to locate the lookout stations so that they will see all of the forest covered mountains with a minimum of duplication.
These men will spend next summer on this and kindred fire protection studies in Shasta National forest." (The Searchlight)
