Cherryville was an unmanned auxiliary repeater station along an AT&T Long Lines microwave route spanning from Hillsboro, Missouri, to Dallas, Texas. The site is located approximately eight miles southwest of its namesake unincorporated community on Route 19, or less than a mile north of Sligo, another unincorporated community in rural Dent County.

The site consists of a 1,278-square-foot, semi-hardened concrete building and a 206-foot, self-supported lattice tower. The four KS-15676 horn-reflector antennas that would’ve originally been found atop the tower have since been removed.

Currently the site is used as a repeater in the Missouri StateWide Interoperability Network (MOSWIN) public safety radio system. As with other MOSWIN sites, Cherryville was formerly owned by McCullough Comsites following AT&T’s 1999 sale of its microwave relay sites. According to the archived site page from McCullough’s website, the site sits on an acre lot.
