Helen Dowe

Helen Dowe in the cab of the Devil’s Head Lookout, circa 1919. The device to the left is an early iteration of the Osborne Fire-Finder, an instrument used to pinpoint the exact location of spotted wildfires in which two sights would pivot around a map of the area, with the location of lookout at the direct center. | Source: Colburn, F.E.
