| The Strong Tower and cabin located south of Lake Bernard at Sundridge. The 85 footer was last manned by Ray Christie. This is another one of the tower's remains I have had the pleasure of visiting with my friend Gary Long. The footings back onto a summer home now. |

| The 105 ft. Arnott Tower in the Kapuskasing District circa Sept. 1959. Rest of photos courtesy of the Ont. Archives (RG1-448.) |
| The Cunningham Tower also in Kapuskasing circa 1969 with a Ranger's eggbeater flying by. |
| The Go Home Tower south of Parry Sound near Go Home Lake was one of only two square towers in this district. It was the shortest steel tower with cupola of its kind, as it stood only 60 ft. tall. Originally it was an open top steel tower. The cupola you see was added later to replace the original open platform. The deer flies got me good in August of 2003 when I rented a boat and found the footings there. All that remains besides the footings is one piece of steel. |

| This is what remains of Stetham Tower north of Gogama, Ont. The towerman's cabin is right under the base of this 80 footer. The cupola was definitely square as u can see the square steel base outline at the top. 100 foot towers had 13 spacings (beam sections) as u count from top to bottom, and 80 footers had 12 spacings. 80 ft light steel towers had 15-16 smaller spacings. 100 ft heavy steel towers had an exact footings distance of 22'4" apart, 80 ft heavy steel towers had a distance of 18'6" apart, and 80 ft light steel towers had a distance of 21'8" apart. Almost all the cupolas measured 8 ft in width. |
