Who owns the towers in Nye County

Height and age
The median structure here stands 145 feet, 64 feet taller than the Nevada median — a sign of broadcast and rural coverage towers rather than short suburban sites. The tallest is a guyed tower near Hadlee at 289 feet, built in 1998. Most 57% were built in the 2000s.
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.
