About this map

The Polish heritage of South Texas is evident across this modern survey, which centers on the historic communities of Cestohowa and Kosciusko. The landscape is dominated by the meandering path of Cibolo Creek and its many tributaries, including Pulaski Cr, Biala Cr, and Mulifest Cr. These names reflect the cultural imprint of the Silesian settlers who established these agricultural outposts in the 19th century.

Rural infrastructure is well-defined by a dense network of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 541 and FM 887. Local landmarks such as Saint Anns Cem near Kosciusko provide specific points of interest for genealogists, while smaller water features like Olinick Reservoir and the Pawelek Lake Number 1 and Number 2 suggest the importance of water management in this Karnes County ranching country.
