Viewing Tower

This old target scoring tower provides elevated views of the region. It was originally an observation tower for the military training ranges north of the highway. It was moved to the nearby potash works in the 1950s, to watch operations in the expansive evaporation ponds south of the highway. By the late 1970s its use diminished to simply supporting a TV antenna for the potash bunkhouse, which is no longer in use by the plant. The owner of the potash plant donated the tower to the CLUI, and it was moved to its current location in 2007.
