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

The Bearwallow Mountain complex includes multiple wooden structures positioned at a strategic location for monitoring forest conditions in the Gila National Forest.

The Works Progress Administration constructed these observation cabins in 1923 as part of the nationwide effort to establish fire monitoring stations.

The architectural ensemble represents the development of forest management practices in New Mexico through its preserved structures and observation techniques.

Visitors can reach the lookout complex by following forest service roads through Bearwallow Park, near the community of Mogollon.

The buildings survived the intense Bear Fire of 2006, which threatened the entire Bearwallow Mountain area but left the structures intact.

Location: Catron County

Inception: 1923
