The Jacob Lake Ranger Station is a historic U.S. Forest Service ranger station in the unincorporated communityofJacob Lake, Arizona, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[1]

Description[edit]

Jacob Lake Ranger Station, 1918

Jacob Lake is at a road junction leading to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, making the ranger station a major contact point for visitors to Kaibab National Forest until the construction of the nearby Kaibab Plateau Visitor Center. The ranger station comprises a wood-framed cabin and a barn, both adjoining a fenced pasture that surrounds Jacob Lake. The complex was built by the Forest Service in 1910.[2][3]

The cabin is a 24-foot (7.3 m) by 32-foot (9.8 m) wood-framed structure, resting on a limestone foundation. The walls are clad with board-and-batten siding, and the roof is covered with wood shakes, the only surviving board-and-batten cabin in Kaibab National Forest. The long elevation faces Jacob Lake with a shed-roofed porch across the entire side, formerly enclosed, but now restored to its original open configuration. The interior has two rooms, a kitchen and a bedroom, entered by individual doors from the porch.[2]

The barn is a 1+12-story frame structure with board-and-batten siding on a concrete foundation. The roof slopes saltbox fashion from 1+12 stories at the front to one story at the back.[2]

The Jacob Lake Ranger Station was placed on the NRHP on July 13, 1987.[1]

History[edit]

In June 2020, the station narrowly escape being destroyed in the Mangum Fire.[4]
