Who owns the towers in Dawson County

Height and age
The median structure here stands 256 feet, 106 feet taller than the Montana median — a sign of broadcast and rural coverage towers rather than short suburban sites. The tallest is a tower near Glendive at 470 feet, built in 1993. More than in any other decade, 39% were built in the 2010s.
Every registered structure
Sorted tallest first. The registration number opens the FCC record, which shows the exact location and the owner's contact for the structure. A tower on your land that is not in this list is probably under 200 feet and away from airports, so it did not need registering — see why some towers aren't listed.
