Honey locust is a great fit. Also consider mesquites well suited for your climate.
With a little bit of supplemental watering: Zelkova, Hawthorne, Golden Raintree, mulberry.
The Siberian elm are an invasive but not noxiously so. I hear they have weak branches that are prone to breaking off. I would avoid the Russian olive because it is a noxious invasive. If it makes its way to creeks it will devastate the ecosystem.
If you have a warm location, you can also plant a hardy pomegranate, which requires a zone 7 microclimate. They're smaller and bushy but can be trained as a tree and they grow quickly.
If the land is flat, you should take some time nurture the land and create swales for the trees. Trees are best planted when they're young, and even better if they're planted from seed at site.
