I don't have much experience with it, but based on lots of pictures on here I would say Cottonwood. I'm sure someone will chime in that deals with it more than me....
 
Looks a lot like cottonwood to me... We only have Eastern Cottonwood here but I'm betting yours is similar enough to Eastern that they appear mostly the same.
 
Thats pretty big bark, probably cottonwood. Is it a craigslist Ad?
Its gotta get cleaned up soon. Upside is it will split really easy. Easy to process.
 
Looks like willow . Does it have a stinky smell to it?
 
Too hard to tell from those pictures. Could be what's already been said - Cottonwood, Willow, or it could be Black Locust. Would need better pictures to give a more accurate guess.
 
Looks like Black Willow to me. Takes forever to dry and splits like a sponge.
