2016 Map of Saltillo

About this map

The community of Saltillo serves as the focal point of this landscape on the boundary of Hopkins and Franklin counties. Bisected by Highway 67 and the modern path of Interstate 30, the area is defined by a dense network of county roads that navigate a terrain carved by numerous drainages. These waterways, including White Oak Cr and Crosstimber Cr in the north and the southward-flowing Stouts Cr, shape the distribution of local homesteads and agricultural plots. For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for two significant burial grounds: Stouts Creek Cem near the town center and Old Saltillo Cem further south. The drainage patterns of Denton Cr and Greenwood Cr suggest a landscape dominated by riparian corridors and small-scale cattle or farming operations common to this region of East Texas.
