Lambs Knoll, Mountain summit in Frederick County, Maryland, US
Lambs Knoll reaches an elevation of 1,758 feet on South Mountain, marking the transition from a narrow ridge to a broad highland plateau.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed an 80-foot fire tower on Lambs Knoll in 1934, incorporating a 60-foot structure from Thayersville.
The summit bears the name of Milton and Mary Lamb, farmers who worked the land during the 1830s before the area gained recognition.
Visitors can access the summit through the Appalachian Trail, with parking available at Reno Monument Road in Fox's Gap for a 2.5-mile hike.
The location served as a Federal military microwave communications facility, with the former fire tower now standing behind protective fencing.
