Lookout towers are typically located on high terrain such as hilltops. They are difficult to locate

due to small size and coloring. Additionally, they may be "nested" in a wooded area such that

only the top third of the tower is visible. They are represented by a circled small black triangle

(refer to Figures 1-5, 1-6, 1-8, and 1-9).
