To Topographical Map
Built between 1930 and 1933, Atascosa Lookout is a 14’x 14’ groundhouse with
an unusual modified hip roof with a 2’ overhang. This historic structure on
the Coronado National Forest is not far from the Mexican border. It has
gutters to collect rainwater for a cistern, a common-sense solution that was
strangely not used often in the West.
