The Watchtower Door That Wouldn’t Open in the Bitterroot Range

A fire lookout tower in the Bitterroot Range entered official records as abandoned infrastructure after staffing ended in the early 1970s. By the late 1970s, its status existed primarily through patrol notes, maintenance logs, and intermittent correspondence rather than active oversight. This presentation assembles an archival account from district documentation generated during routine patrols, inspections, and search operations conducted in 1978. The material reflects standard administrative processes applied to remote facilities, including classification, review, and filing of observed conditions. Field notes from multiple site visits recorded a recurring access issue involving the tower’s entry door and interior state. These observations were documented across separate inspections weeks apart, with photographs and inventories used to verify consistency where possible. Environmental and mechanical explanations were formally considered within the record, drawing on known factors such as weather exposure, material fatigue, and procedural variance. Each explanation addressed individual conditions while acknowledging the limits of certainty inherent in remote inspections. The case concluded through administrative closure rather than corrective action. What remains preserved is a documented anomaly within routine wilderness management, filed without resolution and retained as part of the broader archival record.
