Among the 14,588 registered structures in Texas, it ranks 31st by height, taller than 99.8% of them.

Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 496 m structure is about 92 km (57 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.
No other registered structure lies within 5 km, which is typical of rural and low-density areas where a single site covers a wide area.
The site lies 20 km (12 mi) outside Amarillo, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

About this record
A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 615152. Height is the overall height above ground including any antennas and lightning rod, which is why it can exceed the height of the supporting structure alone.
"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.
