I never knew this tower location existed so close to home. A beautiful hardwood forest surrounds the site. I visited in mid-winter. I will try to visit again in the spring and try for better photographs.
No nearby geographical feature seems to account for its name. I received this suggestion:The dictionary defines Argus as any observant or vigilant person; a watchful guardian. It also gives the definition "Mythology. a giant with 100 eyes, set to guard the heifer". Willing to bet the site is probably named after Argus inspired by the first definition.
