lookout towers
High surveillance structures
Lookout towers are elevated structures built to provide a high vantage point for surveillance.
Fire lookout towers dot forests and wilderness areas, staffed by observers watching for smoke.
Military lookout towers monitor borders or installations.
Prison guard towers oversee yards and perimeters.
The height allows someone to spot danger—fire, intruders, escaping prisoners—before it spreads or succeeds.
