The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit is proposing to relocate the Zephyr Point Fire Lookout from its current location to a new site on top of White Hill above Spooner Summit in Douglas County, Nev. The lookout, which was determined to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, would be dismantled from its current location and reassembled at the new site.
