27 different registrants own the 66 structures. One is registered to an individual or family trust, whose name this site withholds.

Height and age
The median structure here stands 159 feet, 101 feet shorter than the North Dakota median, typical of denser areas where more, shorter sites fill in coverage. The tallest is a tower near Baldwin at 919 feet, built in 1984. More than in any other decade, 38% 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.
