An ✈️ symbol in the list indicates this tower is an airway beacon rather than a fire tower. After some research we can't find enough hikeable beacon towers to create a separate map, so we added them to this list here.
We use our own on-the-ground data where available, supplemented by desktop reviews of aerial imagery. We cannot guarantee location accuracy of items on this map, nor can we confirm which towers are publicly accessible. We welcome feedback to improve our maps.
