Cell towers in Carthage, Mississippi
The FCC register lists 23 antenna structures in and around Carthage. That is the 37th highest count of any place in Mississippi.
Overview
Carthage, MS has 23 registered structures, the tallest standing 152 m (499 ft) above ground.
Counted against 4,864 residents, that is 472.9 per 100,000 — worth reading alongside area density, since structures cluster along roads and ridgelines rather than where people sleep.
Half the registered structures here are taller than 106 m (348 ft) and half are shorter.
Lattice towers (5) and guyed masts (7) between them make up much of the register here — both are older, taller designs than the monopoles that dominate newer urban sites.
The most recent registration on file here dates from 2025.

About this data
All figures on this page are aggregated from the federal antenna structure register of 2026-08-23, not from carrier coverage data. The two answer different questions.
The FCC Antenna Structure Registration database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 feet or near airports. Many small cells, rooftop antennas and short towers are not registered and will not appear here.
"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
