TULELAKE NWR (PENINSULA)
Modoc County - U.S. Fish and Wildlife - 46N-5E
January 30, 1937: "As part of the improvement program on the Tulelake refuge an all steel lookout tower, topped by a small steel house was completed recently by CCC men of Clear Lake camp.
The slender tower, 100 feet in height, rests on a set of steel base beams anchored 16 feet in the earth and concrete foundations. Beams are 21 feet apart at the base and 7 feet at the top.
The tower overlooks the entire lower end of the Tulelake and peninsula country and will be used principally during the hunting season." (The Klamath News)

July 8, 1938: "Five wooden lookout towers have been completed, one 100 foot steel tower has been dismantled, moved to a new location and rebuilt and a second 100 foot tower of the same material has been put up at the Peninsula patrol station." (The Evening Herald)
February 21, 1940: "In the November-January Tule Lake narrative report, there is a picture which shows a very elaborate water tower for the peninsula cabin on the refuge.
Please look into the CCC estimates and see who approved such an elaborate structure, if I am not the guilty one. Certainly this exceeds anything I had in mind." (Memorandum for Mr. Ball from J. Clark Salyer II, Chief, Division of Wildlife Refuges)
