Bearwallow Mountain Lookout Cabins and Shed, Forest observation station in Catron County, United States.

Bearwallow Mountain Lookout Cabins and Shed is a group of wooden buildings in Bearwallow Park near Mogollon, Catron County, New Mexico, within Gila National Forest. The Works Progress Administration built the cabins and shed in 1940, one of three New Deal-era building groups in the forest. A nearby lookout tower about 10.7 metres tall carries a wooden cab roughly 2.1 by 2.1 metres, and the tower is not covered by the cabins' heritage listing.

The cabins and shed were built in 1940 by the Works Progress Administration, one of three New Deal-era building groups in the Gila National Forest alongside the El Caso and Mangas Mountain lookout complexes. The ensemble was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1988. A nearby watchtower, about 10.7 metres tall with a roughly 2.1-metre-square wooden cab, stands outside those protections.

The cabins and shed belong to a group of three New Deal-era lookout complexes in the Gila National Forest, alongside El Caso and Mangas Mountain. They were built by the Works Progress Administration in 1940 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 28 January 1988. A nearby watchtower, about 10.7 m tall with a roughly 2.1 m square wooden cab, is not covered by those protections.

The cabins and shed stand in Bearwallow Park near Mogollon, in Catron County, New Mexico. Access is by unpaved forest roads whose condition changes with the season and recent weather. A fire lookout tower about 10.7 metres tall, topped by a roughly 2.1 by 2.1 metre wooden cab, stands nearby.

The buildings survived the Bear Fire of 2006, a major wildfire that threatened the entire Bearwallow Mountain area. This survival demonstrates the resilience of their original construction and maintenance over the decades.
