1960 Map of Kosciusko

About this map

The agricultural lands of the Texas coastal plain are defined here by the winding course of Cibolo Creek, which carves a path through the borderlands of Wilson and Karnes counties. Small rural settlements established by Polish immigrants, such as Kosciusko and Cestohowa, anchor the landscape around central parish landmarks like St Anns Ch and St Anns Cem. The presence of Pulaski Sch along the creek of the same name illustrates the dispersed educational network of the mid-century, while a network of pipelines and scattered oil wells reflects the region's mineral interests. The terrain is further etched by numerous tributaries, including Riala Creek, Casiano Creek, and Mulifest Creek, supporting a mix of ranching and early industrial sites like the several quarries located near Pawelekville.
