1980 Map of Telephone

About this map

The Red River creates a meandering border between Oklahoma and Texas, defining the landscape of this 1980 survey. On the Texas side, the rural community of Telephone and the smaller settlement of Elwood anchor the local geography. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, documenting multiple burial sites including Old Elwood Cem, Elwood Cem, and Forest Grove Cem. The presence of the Sam Rayburn Sch and the southern reaches of the Caddo National Grassland reflect the region's civic and conservation priorities during this era.
