| Here you will find a collection of historic maps of telephone and telecommunications lines. They are collected from various sources, many of which were already secondhand collections---so a source is noted when possible, but it's hard to be 100% certain where these all came from. The maps are presented by the year they were created and the name shown on the map, when possible. The M# is a //TD-2 Control Number//, a scheme invented just to make it a little easier to refer to specific maps when they come up in different places online. | Here you will find a collection of historic maps of telephone and telecommunications lines.

The Authority column contains any source markings from the map itself, typically date published and sometimes a drawing number. |
