1965 Map of Salado

About this map

White River oxbows and islands dominate this 1960s landscape, where the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the northern bottoms. The community of Salado sits centrally among several prominent elevations like Egner Hill and Bill Hill, while smaller settlements such as Rosie and Southside serve as local hubs. The map reveals a deeply etched drainage system where Salado Creek and Caney Creek wind toward the larger river valley, shaping the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries.
