1923: "Two 70-foot steel towers with glass enclosed cabs have been constructed, tower No. 1 at Bogalusa, La. and tower No. 2 at Urania, La. These towers are located on the highest hills in their localities thus permitting the men in charge of these towers to locate fires within an eight mile radius. Both observation towers are connected with telephone lines to the homes of the various employees and citizens surrounding them." (6th Biennial Report of the Department of Conservation)
