A geological survey of Groveton was conducted by a team from Ottawa around 1905, where the highest point of land between the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers was identified on property owned by a local family. A concrete marker was placed on the location as well as a tall, wooden work tower. Shortly after the tower was erected, locals began to climb the wooden structure for the view, however after it was left unmaintained for over a decade, it became both an eyesore and a safety hazard. In 1917, a six-year-old boy attempted to climb the structure, prompting locals to quickly demolish the deteriorating tower. The concrete marker still remains on site and is periodically observed by the Geodetic Survey of Canada.
