AREA INFO & HISTORY

Did You Know?
The original Colcord Lookout was a 50’ Aermotor tower with 7’ x 7’ cab. Three years later, in 1928, a second Aermotor tower, 35’ tall with a 7’ x 7’ cab, was erected and apparently both were operated at the same time. Sometime after 1965 both towers, plus a CCC ground living quarters, were removed and the present 83’ steel tower built. It has a 14’ x 14’ CL-100 series metal flat roof cab with catwalk. The lookout is staffed by the Pleasant Valley Ranger District of the Tonto National Forest.

The following list of Tonto Place Names gives the derivation of 54 landmarks in Tonto. However, it is not a complete list since areas which were named for obvious. reasons such as Rock Creek, or Ash Creek have not been included. Also, the exact reason for the naming of some places could not be determined, and thus these are also
