US Cell Towers Near Me

Wondering how close the nearest cell tower is, or who owns that tall structure down the road? This interactive map plots more than 141,000 registered cell and antenna towers across the United States. Use your current location or search any address, and it lists the closest towers with the distance, the compass direction to point an antenna, the owner, the height and the structure type.

Tap Use my location for a precise fix, or type an address, city or ZIP into the search box. The map zooms to your area, drops a marker, and the list below fills with the nearest registered towers ranked by distance. You can filter by state, by structure type (monopole, lattice, guyed and more), or by owner, for example Crown Castle, American Tower or a specific carrier.

One honest note up front: this map is built from the FCC Antenna Structure Registration, which records tall antenna structures (generally over 200 feet, or shorter ones near airports). Most of these towers carry cellular equipment, but the registry does not identify carriers or confirm cellular use, and not every small cell site is a registered tower. It is the same authoritative data the big tower-lookup sites use, presented on a fast, mobile-friendly map.

How to use it

1. Tap Use my location to center the map on where you are, or search an address, city or ZIP code.
2. Read the nearest registered towers list: each row shows the distance, the compass bearing, the owner, the height and the structure type.
3. Tap any tower on the map or in the list to open its detail card with the owner, structure type, height above ground, FCC ASR registration number and exact coordinates.
4. Narrow the view with the state, structure type and owner filters.
5. Use the Share button to copy a link, or switch between miles and kilometres.

About the data

The map uses the FCC Antenna Structure Registration (ASR), the federal registry of antenna structures that are generally taller than 200 feet (61 metres), plus shorter structures near airports. It is public domain data published by the Federal Communications Commission and refreshed every week.

This build uses the ASR weekly file dated 12 July 2026 and shows 141,448 constructed structures that have verified coordinates, from the shortest rooftop masts to the 628 metre guyed towers. Each tower is tagged to its state so you can filter nationally or by state. The data footer inside the map always shows the exact file date so you can see how current it is.

Limitations worth knowing: ASR lists the structure owner (often a tower company such as American Tower, Crown Castle or SBA), not the carriers or tenants using the tower. Heights and locations are as filed with the FCC and may be approximate or lag very recent construction. Small cells and distributed antenna systems are usually not registered here.

Disclaimer: This tool is for general information only. It is not for engineering, legal, real estate or emergency planning use, and it is not a statement about radio-frequency exposure or safety. For official structure records, use the FCC ASR search. For questions about radio-frequency safety, refer to the FCC and FDA.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate and fresh is this data?

It comes straight from the FCC Antenna Structure Registration, refreshed weekly. This build is dated 12 July 2026. Coordinates and heights are as filed with the FCC, so they are authoritative but can be approximate and may not include structures registered in the last few days.

Does this show every cell tower near me?

It shows every registered antenna structure in the FCC ASR database, which covers the tall towers that carry most cellular equipment. It does not show every small cell, rooftop antenna or distributed antenna system, because many of those are below the registration threshold.

Can I see towers by carrier, like Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile?

Not directly. The registry records the structure owner, which is often a tower company (American Tower, Crown Castle, SBA) that leases space to several carriers. You can filter by owner, but the tenants on a given tower are not part of this dataset. Verizon-owned structures do appear under Cellco Partnership, and AT&T under its various entities.

How do I find who owns a tower near me?

Search your address or tap Use my location, then open any tower to see its owner and FCC ASR registration number. You can also filter the whole map by owner name.

What do the structure types mean?

Monopole is a single tubular pole, lattice or self-support is the classic open steel tower, guyed is a slim mast held up by cables, and mast covers other pole-like structures. The rest, including rooftop and building-mounted antennas, are grouped as other.

How tall are cell towers?

Most registered towers fall between 100 and 500 feet. The map colors each tower by height band, and the detail card shows the exact height above ground. Anything over 200 feet is required to be registered with the FCC.

Where does this data come from and can I verify it?

The source is the FCC Antenna Structure Registration public database, public domain and published by the Federal Communications Commission. Each tower shows its ASR registration number, which you can look up on the official FCC ASR search to verify the record.
