Loneman Fire Lookout is a historic fire lookout in Glacier National Park that was part of a staffed chain of posts watching for wildfires. A low, two-story timber building with a pyramidal roof, it followed a standard U.S. Forest Service design. Built in the early 1930s, it belonged to a wider effort to establish an overlapping network of fire observation points across the park. Although the record gives conflicting dates of 1930 and 1933, its importance rests on its role in that early park-era system for improving fire detection through coordinated lookouts.
