I'm guessing the tower was there before anything else was developed. I just figured since it was a Fed tower, it was Fed land.

Also some spiderweb looking antennas sticking out the top. I'm pretty sure it was an FAA tower, I couldn't find it in the FCC Tower database, and I don't think it was a long-lines tower.
