SASKATCHEWAN LOOKOUTS
LAC LA RONGE
80-foot steel tower.
July 14, 1955: "For a woman, Joan Alice Studer, 19, has one of the most unusual jobs in Saskatchewan. She is a forest fire lookout tower operator, whose unerring duty it is to guard a thousand square miles of rich Saskatchewan forest from fire.
Her tower is located on the east shore of Lac la Ronge. Its lofty cupola overlooks a rolling mantle of forest some 30 miles to the north, east and south, and to the west, Lac la Ronge with its hundreds of green, wooded islands." (Baldur Gazette)
