Copper Creek Guard Station

The Copper Creek Guard Station was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935.

It is located in a very remote area, near Black Canyon City, Arizona, United States.

Since the forest road networks were not well developed, getting to a job site meant a long trek, carrying all the equipment needed to perform the fieldwork.

To finance the preservation effort, the Forest Service started renting its guard stations to the public.
