Incan Treasure on Salt Fork — Stonewall County

Lost Treasure TX • Stonewall County County
Description
Stonewall County legend of Incan treasure buried near the Salt Fork of the Brazos River — a precious-metal tale from the Rolling Plains northwest of Abilene.
Historical Notes
The Salt Fork of the Brazos drains the southern Panhandle and Rolling Plains through Stonewall and adjacent counties. The Rocker Box Stonewall County compilation cites Incan treasure buried near the river — a story that imports South American bullion lore onto the Texas plains. No documented Incan artifact horizon exists in Stonewall County; the tale belongs to regional guidebooks and Jameson's Texas chapter alongside Spanish and outlaw variants on the same waterways. Coordinates approximate the Salt Fork of the Brazos in western Stonewall County.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
