Overview
The FCC register lists 7 antenna structures in and around Scobey, MT. That is the 33rd highest count of any place in Montana.
Area density is 9.51 per square mile — usually the more telling figure for infrastructure that follows terrain, roads and line of sight rather than population.
Heights are uneven: the median is 59 m (195 ft) but the tallest is 123 m (404 ft), roughly 2.1 times that — usually the signature of a broadcast mast among shorter mobile sites.
Lattice towers (2) and guyed masts (1) between them make up much of the register here — both are older, taller designs than the monopoles that dominate newer urban sites.
Registrations here span 1960 to 2016.

About this data
These counts come from the FCC Antenna Structure Registration database, weekly file dated 2026-08-23. Registration is generally required above 200 feet or near an airport, so small cells, rooftop antennas and short masts do not appear.
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.
