The three main naming schemes from left to right are: Spanish Catholic/Myth about gold -> Native Tribes names as interpreted by the French/someone related to cattles last name -> European towns/religous sect.
With spattering of what someone saw when they named (Oaksville, Pleasentview, spring view, Littlerock, etc)
The Pacific Northwest also has a bunch of places where we actually kept the names the locals gave them. And one major city we named after a chief we got along great with.
