Radar Station B-71, located near Klamath, California, is a rare surviving example of an early warning radar station from World War II. Disguised as a farm, this historic site played a crucial role in the coastal defense network established in response to threats against the American coastline during the war.

The station consisted of three uniquely camouflaged buildings, including a Power Building and an Operations Building, designed to blend into the rural landscape. Manned by the U.S. Army Air Corps, it operated around the clock, showcasing the innovative use of radar technology during a pivotal time in American history.
