1964 Map of Salado

The presence of multiple family-named watercourses, such as Willingham Branch, Watkins Branch, and Mustang Creek, suggests a long history of local land claims and homesteading. At Willingham Springs Ch, the intersection of early roads and water features points to traditional community gathering spots. Industrial activity is visible in the form of several Gravel Pits and Gravel Pits, while a Spillway on the main creek indicates efforts to manage the local water table for the surrounding valley.
