Overview

Pecatonica, IL has 8 registered structures, the tallest standing 122 m (400 ft) above ground.

Counted against 2,052 residents, that is 389.9 per 100,000 — worth reading alongside area density, since structures cluster along roads and ridgelines rather than where people sleep.

The tallest structure on the register here is 122 m (400 ft) above ground level.

Lattice towers (2) and guyed masts (1) between them make up much of the register here — both are older, taller designs than the monopoles that dominate newer urban sites.

Registrations here span 1965 to 2013.

About this data

These counts come from the FCC Antenna Structure Registration database, weekly file dated 2026-08-23. Registration is generally required above 200 feet or near an airport, so small cells, rooftop antennas and short masts do not appear.

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.
