Cell towers in Van Horn, Texas
The FCC register lists 12 antenna structures in and around Van Horn. That is the 300th highest count of any place in Texas.
Overview
Van Horn, TX has 12 registered structures, the tallest standing 151 m (495 ft) above ground.
Counted against 2,020 residents, that is 594.1 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 72 m (235 ft) but the tallest is 151 m (495 ft), roughly 2.1 times that — usually the signature of a broadcast mast among shorter mobile sites.
The mix here is 3 lattice towers, 3 guyed masts — the rest of the register is made up of rooftops, water tanks and structures the FCC records without a specific type.
The most recent registration on file here dates from 2021.

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.
