Frame grab from the movie "Race with the Devil." The highway shown is unknown but could possibly be FM 470 between Bandera and Tarpley, Texas. On the left is a two-pin line with a larger phone line across the road. Further right is a power line.

Some were really crude, and many were in disrepair---but, still standing. Nature seemed to claim most of them, after that. Hope this helps.
