Tower locations in my area

Where can I find a map with all towers in my area and the height of each. I would like to see Cell Phone Towers, Electrical Lines, Antennas and etc

SkyVector: Flight Planning / Aeronautical Charts

All tower elevations are given in AGL.

Not sure, as posted check out the chart and find your area. There's a symbol chart on the map to help you.

I would check out the Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) website. Try the "Circle Search for Cases" link on the left side...

Edited:
Keep in mind, this will only show obstructions above 200' that are located off the airport, and obstructions lower than 200' on the airport.

VFR charts will show all known obstacles. I have seen 100ft towers before in the middle of the mountains.

Antenna Tower Locator

I was trying to find the height of High Tension Power Line Towers in my area. I'm not seeing this on either of the 2 links listed above. I'm looking for a sight like AntennaSearch - Search for Cell Towers, Cell Reception, Hidden Antennas and more. but one that shows more than just antennas. A app would be nice.

Thanks everyone for your posts.

I know your frustration. I had similar questions & found most cell towers range 50-200 ft. High tension power lines range 49-180 ft. & some can go over 2000 ft.

The ones near me are all within the specified ranges stated above. I flew my bird near them then checked my altitudes to be 120 ft for the power lines. & 150 ft for the cell towers.

Cell Towers and anything else with a commercial transmitter on it should be able to be found using the FCC ASR database at ASR Registration Search

Won't help for the power distribution towers, but it's a start...
