Salt Flat Salt Deposits in King County Texas
W F Cummins describes the Salt Flat in southern King County near the Salt Fork and Croton Fork of the Brazos River. The 200 acre open plain hosts a large spring delivering about 200 600 gallons daily of highly saline water. When streams rise, salt precipitates in sheets and sometimes thick layers on the surface. Stockmen gather salt seasonally, and a large scale operation could be built with simple setting vats and sun evaporation. A heavy rock salt bed akin to Colorado City and Kansas saltworks is suspected in the region, part of the Double Mountain Permian beds per state geological reports.
