==History==
Indigenous peoples inhabited and hunted in this area for thousands of years. By 1750, the Osage had become a dominant tribe in the area. About one third belonged to the band led by Chief Black Dog (''Manka - Chonka''). Before 1800 they made the Black Dog Trail starting east of Baxter Springs, Kansas and going northwest to their summer hunting grounds at the Great Salt Plains in present-day Alfalfa County.〔(Burl E. Self, "Black Dog (1780-1848)", ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'' ), accessed November 5, 2009〕 The Osage stopped at the springs for its healing properties on their way to hunting at the plains, which attracted migratory birds and varieties of wildlife. The Osage name for this fork of the Arkansas River was ''Nescatunga'' (big salt water), what European-Americans later called the Salt Fork. The Osage cleared the trail of brush and large rocks, and made ramps at the fords. Wide enough for eight men riding horses abreast, the trail was the first improved road in Kansas and Oklahoma.〔(Louis F. Burns, "Osage", ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'' ), accessed November 5, 2009〕
