Cell towers in Georgetown, South Carolina
The FCC register lists 35 antenna structures in and around Georgetown. That is the 18th highest count of any place in South Carolina.
Overview
Georgetown, SC has 35 registered antenna structures on the FCC register — the 18th largest count among the 367 places in South Carolina that have any.
Counted against 8,869 residents, that is 394.6 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 79 m (258 ft) and half are shorter.
Lattice towers (9) and guyed masts (5) between them make up much of the register here — both are older, taller designs than the monopoles that dominate newer urban sites.
The earliest structure still on the register here dates from 1970.

About this data
Figures are drawn from the FCC's public antenna structure register (2026-08-23). It covers structures that need registering — broadly those over 200 feet or close to an airport — and not the many shorter installations that carry mobile traffic.
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.
