    This is a fascinating subject, well worth taking the time to record, as I believe a lot of checkpoints and watchtowers have been or are being demolished. Not only a good historical record, but quite evocative, too. IIRC, there was an article in Blueprint(?) magazine a couple of years ago about Donovan Wylie who also set out to do what you've done, and a bit of googling showed up his book about the watch towers - http://www.steidlville.com/books/547...tchtowers.html
    Think I'll buy a copy since I've been reminded of it ...
