Elevated observation post
A lookout tower is a tall structure built to provide an elevated vantage point for observation.
Fire lookout towers dot forested regions, staffed by rangers watching for smoke.
Military lookout towers survey borders or camps.
The height allows seeing threats or changes across distances impossible from ground level: The ranger spotted the fire from the lookout tower.
