2013 Map of Telephone

About this map

The Red River snakes along the northern edge of this Fannin County landscape, serving as a prominent boundary line where numerous creeks and branches converge. This rural region is defined by the settlements of Elwood and Telephone, which are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county lanes. The area's local history is anchored by the Old Elwood Cem and Elwood Cem, providing important landmarks for genealogical research. To the west, the Reward Ranch Airport represents a modern transportation link amidst the agricultural fields. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses such as Narvaugh Cr, Mud Br, and Robert Springs Br, which feed into the primary river system. Near the river, features like Island Bayou and Carman Lake Number 2 illustrate the dynamic nature of the floodplain, while the southern reaches are marked by the seasonal drainage of Dry Fork.
