About this map

Cibolo Creek meanders through this portion of South Texas, defining the boundary between Wilson and Karnes Counties. The landscape is characterized by small rural settlements connected by a network of state and local roads, such as Kosciusko and Pawelekville. The map highlights a strong Polish heritage in the region, centered on the village of Cestohowa (Czestochowa) and the community of Pulaski. Local genealogy and social history are anchored at sites like St Anns Ch and the adjacent St Anns Cem.

The industrial footprint of the mid-20th century is visible through several Oil Wells and a Quarry situated near the county line. Hydrological data collection is evidenced by a Gaging Sta along the main creek, while smaller tributaries like Biala Creek and Dry Creek drain the surrounding prairie and woodland. This map, originally field checked in 1960 and updated in the 1980s, captures a transition from traditional agricultural life toward early energy extraction.
