About this map

The Red River carves a winding path along the state boundary, defining the northern edge of this North Texas landscape. This riverine environment is characterized by numerous tributaries and seasonal drainages, including Island Bayou, Elwood Cr, and Narvaugh Cr, which drain the agricultural and wooded areas of northern Fannin County. The settlement of Elwood sits at a central crossroads, surrounded by a concentration of local history markers including Bethlehem Cem, Old Elwood Cem, and Elwood Cem, indicating a long-established rural community pattern.

To the southeast, the small community of Telephone serves as a local hub near the Caddo National Grassland. The southern portion of the map transitions into the varied terrain of the grassland, marked by features such as the Dry Fork and Forest Grove Cem. The road network, comprising numerous county routes like Co RD 2135 and FM 273, provides access to the scattered farms and homesteads that define the region's contemporary land use.
