Description

Tecate Peak sits almost astride the US-Mexico border. The design is likely a National Park Service Plan 7 similar to structures constructed at Boucher Hill and Los Pinos: A 20 foot enclosed, battered timber tower with a 14x14 wood cab. The lookout served the area for at least 40 years before being demolished sometime after 1975.
