About
Located on the Sacramento Ranger District, James Ridge Lookout (formerly Mayhill Lookout), is a 7’ X 7’ steel cab sitting on a 62 foot high steel tower. The cab style is designated as and Aermotor LX-24; however, the lookout has been extensively remodeled since it was moved from its previous Mayhill site. The lookout was moved to James Ridge in 1967, and its future eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places will be based upon that date.
