About this map

Saltillo and the surrounding East Texas countryside are defined by a network of creeks and early community centers along the St Louis Southwestern railroad. The landscape is carved by White Oak Creek, Timber Creek, and Stouts Creek, which dictate the placement of farms and small settlements. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the numerous rural congregations and burial grounds, such as Old Saltillo Ch, Union Center Grove Ch, and the Stouts Creek Cem located just west of the main village.

A distinct Indefinite Boundary separates Hopkins and Franklin counties, bisecting the region's agricultural lands. The presence of a Pumping Sta and a modern Pipeline suggests the mid-century integration of energy infrastructure into this traditional farming landscape. Farther south, the small community of Hall sits near the headwaters of Greenwood Creek, while a Sandpit in the southwest corner provides evidence of local resource extraction during this era.
