It is a well-known feature, in part because of its height, but especially because of its bald summit (hence the name).

[1][2] Before aerial surveillance was extensively used, a hut was maintained on the summit for fire-spotting in the remote north-central part of the province.

A very similar hut was maintained on Mount Carleton, the province's highest peak.

Triangulation among these huts and other fire towers allowed the locations of wildfires to be determined quickly and easily.
