The route emerges from the forest and crosses a 65-square-mile (170 km<sup>2</sup>) lava flow. At the summit, the wagon road had to be cut through the lava beds. As a result, alternate routes over the Cascades were used by most early travelers. Today’s highway follows the wagon route over the lava beds past the observatory site.<sup id="cite_ref-ODT_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ODT-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The observatory was built during the <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a> by a <a href="/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps" title="Civilian Conservation Corps">Civilian Conservation Corps</a> crew at Camp Belknap near <a href="/wiki/Clear_Lake_(Linn_County,_Oregon)" title="Clear Lake (Linn County, Oregon)">Clear Lake</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was completed in 1935, and named for the construction crew’s foreman who had died the previous year after serving 24 years as a <a href="/wiki/Packhorse" title="Packhorse">Forest Service packer</a> and crew foreman at Camp Belknap.<sup id="cite_ref-USFS_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-USFS-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FS_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FS-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In addition to Dee Wright Observatory, the rough-hewn timber shelter built by the Civilian Conservation Corps at Camp Belknap still stands near Clear Lake.
