The story
Alma Hill is a 2,543-foot-tall (775 m) mountain in the Southern Tier of New York. It is located southwest of Wellsville in Allegany County. In 1950, an 80-foot-tall (24 m) steel fire lookout tower was built on the mountain. Due to the increased use of aerial detection, the tower ceased fire lookout operations at the end of the 1971 fire lookout season. In 1973, the tower was sold to the landowner where the tower stood. It is the highest hill in western New York, or the highest in New York outside the Adirondacks and Catskills.
