Cell towers in Garden City, Kansas
The FCC register lists 33 antenna structures in and around Garden City. That is the 5th highest count of any place in Kansas.
Overview
Garden City, KS has 33 registered structures, the tallest standing 305 m (1,000 ft) above ground.
Counted against 27,402 residents, that is 120.4 per 100,000 — worth reading alongside area density, since structures cluster along roads and ridgelines rather than where people sleep.
Heights are uneven: the median is 93 m (304 ft) but the tallest is 305 m (1,000 ft), roughly 3.3 times that — usually the signature of a broadcast mast among shorter mobile sites.
The largest registered owner here is Sba Towers II LLC, which holds 5 of them — 15.2% of the local total. Owner is not the same as carrier: tower companies lease space on their structures to several networks at once.
The most recent registration on file here dates from 2024.

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.
