Locating towers

How would I locate where the nearest towers that ATT Wireless uses are?
I'm trying to track down why, when I call 511 from my home in Dover,
NH, the system routes me to the highway info of Maine, but when call
from Portsmouth, I get the highway info for NH. My home is ~6 miles
from the state line, but when I make the same call from Portsmouth, I'm
less than two miles from the state line (and about 12 miles from home).

My concern isn't so much about the highway info, but if I ever have to
call 911 from home, I want to ensure that I get the NH state police.

Silly me. I have the DIRECT number for each of our local cop bureaucracies
programmed into my contacts database so I get to choose who I'm calling
DIRECTLY, not the sellphone system which works as stupidly here as yours
does.

I don't have an iPhone. It's a Motorola Z6m, so I click the voice
recognition button and say, in my slurred speech, "Call North Charleston
Police", and it hooks me to the North Charleston Police dispatcher. It
works quite well, actually.

If I don't want North Charleston Police, but SC Highway Patrol, I press the
button and say, "Call Highway Patrol". I get Highway Patrol, not
Summerville Police, which is another contact, entirely, no matter what the
stupid sellphone towers think I want. Highway Patrol is #HP [SEND], here.

I think someone said the new Gphone could make calls like this by talking
into the microphone. It's really cool.

My buddy's wife has her phone set to call her husband when she tells it,
"Call Asshole". He didn't know it until he was trying to fix her contact
list one day and recognized his number under "Asshole"....(c;
