About this map

Saltillo and the smaller settlement of Union anchor this East Texas landscape, which is defined by a dense network of creek drainages. The area is heavily intersected by seasonal and perennial waterways, most notably White Oak Cr and Stouts Cr in the west, and Big Cr and Denton Cr to the east. These watercourses have historically shaped the settlement patterns and agriculture of Hopkins County.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of several burial sites, including Old Saltillo Cem and Stouts Creek Cem, which serve as physical links to the early residents of the region. The landscape is also marked by an extensive grid of numbered county roads, such as H C 3536 and H C 3541, reflecting the rural infrastructure that supports the local farming and ranching economy south of the Interstate 30 corridor.
