BIG LAKE
Mississippi County - National Wildlife Refuge
August 25, 1934: "An observation tower, 113 feet high, has been erected at Big Lake, 12 miles west of here, by the government. This tower, which permits a view of the entire lake, is two and a half miles northeast of Manila, next to the Caraway farm, at Finis Point. A good dirt road from Manila leads to the tower.
It is believed that this tower, which is of steel structure, will be of special benefit following the restoration of the bird reservation at the lake." (Blytheville Courier News)
