A complete list of Minuteman missile launch control facilities and missile silos can be found [[44th Missile Wing LGM-30 Minuteman Missile Launch Sites|here]].

The Titan-I sites still exist, in various states of abandonment. Site "A" is still fenced, with all the missile silos capped and in place.  Most of the concrete roads remain, along with what remains of the launch control blockhouse and several axillary buildings.  Site "B" is in similar condition, abandoned with prairie grass in a very remote location.  Site "C" also has the three missile silos capped, but much of the concrete has been removed and appears to be part of a grazing rangeland, the outlines of the missile site still very visible in aerial imagery.

Most Minuteman Launch Control Facilities appear to be still in federal government ownership, as after fifteen or more years of inactivation, all are standing but abandoned; the buildings still standing within the locked security fence. Some are used by farmers seemingly. The missile launch sites (again, with the exception of D-09) are all in private ownership, most being used for agricultural use, the remainder abandoned and returning to a natural state.
