Hershberger Mountain Lookout, near Prospect, Oregon, is a fire lookout tower built in 1925 during the period when mountaintop observation posts were central to wildfire detection in the region. It remains an early example of that system in Oregon’s forested mountains. Its historic importance was formally recognized when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 29, 2000. Today, the tower survives as a reminder of the fire detection network once used to watch over the surrounding landscape.
