Notes:

  • Research by Mark Haughwout and Peter Hayes
  • The map locations are approximate
  • Information on individual towers will be posted as information is found.
  • In the 1921 commisioners report it lists these towers locations - Westmore, Stone, Belvidere, Owlshead, Spruce, Camels Hump, Ascutney, Okemo, Dorset, Haystack, Bald and Stratton. It also lists these lookouts that are not owned or run by the state - Sable, Gore West Pond, Burke, Cushman, and Pico.
  • In the 1941 report, it does not list the lookout names only to say that there are 24 state run lookouts in opperation.
