Former location of the Integrated Fire Control facilities for LA-09 Nike missile battery. The IFC site was divided into upper and lower sites. In 1955, the U.S. Army constructed a generator, corridor, ready room, and concrete pads for radar at the upper site. A barracks and mess hall were constructed at the lower site. water, sewer, and fuel storage facilities were also constructed at the control area.

The project area is owned by the USFS and is being used by federal, state, Los Angeles County, and the CA ANG for radio repeater equipment. The CA ANG maintains the site and the USFS maintains the access road.
