2013 Map of Kosciusko

About this map

Cestohowa and Kosciusko anchor this rural landscape in Karnes County, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural and cultural heritage of the region's Polish settlements. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Cibolo Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Pulaski Cr, Biala Cr, and Dry Cr. These waterways, alongside managed water features like Olinick Reservoir and the twin Pawelek Lake Number 1 and Pawelek Lake Number 2, illustrate a landscape meticulously adapted for ranching and farming. Local history is physically preserved at Saint Anns Cem near the northern settlement, while the road network of Farm-to-Market routes and county lanes, such as Farm Road 3191 and FM-541, connects the hamlets of Pawelekville to the surrounding cattle country. The presence of Costilla Petrolem Rd in the southeast points to the persistent intersection of the local petroleum industry and traditional land use.
