Euclidean Distance Tool Grouping Features

[BradyFehlhafer]

I am trying to perform a spatial analysis of communication towers in the United States for an intro level GIS class, and I have run into trouble with the Euclidean Distance tool grouping my feature points together. Any help would be appreciated.

you should be using projected point data (perhaps an Albers used in the U.S.) and you need to specify the extent to something bounding the input points.  What cell size are you using?

I agree with Dan Patterson you should be using a projected coordinate space to do this analysis.

What are you trying to achieve? Judging from the picture, the cell size is much larger than the density of the points.

And the scale of the colour ramped raster looks strange.

Would this

not be more suitable?
