History
1915 – Cabin mentioned in an article.
So far, we have only found one record of this particular lookout existing in a 1915 newspaper article:
“District four is in charge of Ranger Frank Hartman, with a lookout station at Buffalo Hump where J. B. Moss is lookout man.”
Idaho County Free Press – Thursday, July 08, 1915
“Supervisor George Ring left last week for Buffalo Hump to install the lookout station at that place. A cabin will be built there and also at Pilot Knob. Ben Anderson and Wm. Droogs are in charge of this work”

“Shortly after their installation a report came from the lookout from Buffalo Hump of a fire over the Idaho National Forest, on the south fork of the Salmon.”
