Cell towers in Headland, Alabama

Overview
Headland, AL has 11 registered antenna structures on the FCC register — the 117th largest count among the 498 places in Alabama that have any.
Counted against 5,603 residents, that is 196.3 per 100,000 — worth reading alongside area density, since structures cluster along roads and ridgelines rather than where people sleep.
At a median of 79 m (260 ft), structures here run 2.0% shorter than the Alabama median of 81 m (265 ft).
Lattice towers (3) and guyed masts (3) between them make up much of the register here — both are older, taller designs than the monopoles that dominate newer urban sites.
The oldest structure on file here was registered in 1998, the newest in 2025 — 27 years of build-out visible in one register.

About this data
The underlying records are the FCC's own registrations as of 2026-08-23. Every structure counted here carries a registration number you can check against the FCC directly.
The FCC Antenna Structure Registration database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 feet or near airports. Many small cells, rooftop antennas and short towers are not registered and will not appear here.
"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
