I'm assuming you're talking about MSP district 6...
There are no specific towers for district 6. Any tower in the state that has a unit affiliated with a district 6 talkgroup will broadcast that talkgroup. If there are no units on the tower on that talkgroup, it will not.
That being said, this link will show you the districts. District 6 traffic would be likely (but not guaranteed) on any tower that is within or near those counties that are in District 6.
Most of those towers would be the 300 series tower numbers, and maybe a few 100 and 400 towers.
Also note that some posts are dispatched by the counties in which they patrol. Post 66 in Hart is dispatched by the Mason-Oceana Central dispatch (which I think also does dispatching for Newaygo, but I haven't been able to confirm that).

Then I am kind of confused, who has a listing of the tower ID's. Wouldn't the tower ID's have to correlate back to the frequencies that you would have to put into the scanner in order to hear those talkgroups on those specific site ID towers. If I buy my PRO-96 and go to Newaygo county, which frequencies would I put in and from which tower would I hear the traffic on, thanks.

The "RR Database" link above.

Yes. But what do you mean by "those talkgroups"? Talkgroups are heard on a tower if (and only if) a user's radio associated with that talkgroup is in range.
"If I buy my PRO-96 and go to Newaygo county, which frequencies would I put in and from which tower would I hear the traffic on, thanks."
Put in whatever towers you can hear in Newaygo County based on the maps provided, just like programming any other frequency. If you are in range - you'll hear them. If not - you won't.
