Located a couple hundred feet from the northwest shore of Lake Jed Johnson is a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)-constructed lookout tower that dates to 1941. CCC Camp No. 870 constructed the 10-foot-square lookout tower, which was built from native stone. The public was formerly able to go to the top of the approximately 60-foot-tall tower for a view of the lake and surroundings.

In 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) established Camp McKinley as a summer and winter camp in the Oregon & California Land Grant areas of Coos County, Oregon. Working in an area described at the time as "an unbroken stretch of timber land . . . (containing) the largest block of virgin timber in the United States," the CCC enrollees constructed miles of truck trail to provide access for forest management purposes. The camp operated for the majority of the CCC's existence, closing in late August 1941. Companies assigned to the land trust forest included: #1649, #3873, #3881, #3558. The first...

The New Deal provided the funding for the Alaska Railroad to build a new passenger station in Anchorage, Alaska.  A large plaque in the waiting room confirms that the building went up under the administration of President Franklin D Roosevelt and Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes, and it was completed in 1942.   Since Alaska was a territory at the time, it came under the control of the Department of Interior's Territorial Division.  The Alaska Railroad was bought by the federal government in 1914 and completed from Seward to Fairbanks in 1923.  Funding would have been part of the Interior Department's...

In December 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt created the Kenai National Moose Range on the Kenai peninsula of Southern Alaska. Roosevelt’s executive order came after years of debate over wildlife protection in this part of Alaska. The new preserve covered over 2,000,000 acres, around half the area of the peninsula, which had very few people at the time. Some of the land in the Moose Range was subsequently turned back to private development, particularly along the lower Kenai River and around what is now the town of Soldotna. In 1980, the Alaska National Interest Land Conservation Act created the present Kenai National Wildlife...

Once located approximately 35 miles southwest of Medford in the Rogue River National Forest, Camp Applegate operated as a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp from 1933 until 1941. Oregon enrollees worked at Camp Applegate (F-41) on US Forest Service projects until 1937 when recruits arrived from southern states, primarily Alabama. Projects completed by Camp Applegate workers included the construction of an extensive truck trail system for forest management purposes. Thompson Ridge Road, Little Applegate Road, Middle Fork Road and the Beaver Creek - Mount Ashland Loop are among those fire roads built by CCC enrollees. While members of the CCC...

The Birch Creek Camp was located in Beaverhead County. The ranger station was on Birch Creek, about two miles above the campsite. A group of twenty-five Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) workers and one officer were first taken to the site location to build the camp in April of 1935. A total of 200 workers ended up at the camp. They arrived about 2-3 weeks after the initial 25 had arrived. Birch Creek was a “show camp,” meaning it was staged to impress dignitaries on tour for the Fort Missoula CCC District. The first major project assigned to the Birch Creek...
