| Northern Mexico Indian traders at La Sal del Rey lake, circa A. D. 1400, near present-day Harlingen. Many cultures, including the Huastecans and the Aztecs, sent trading parties to the lake to mine the valuable white mineral. The salt was prized during later times as well. Painting by Jose Cisneros.
