About this map

Miguel and Schattel anchor this South Texas landscape in the brush country of Frio County. The settlement pattern is defined by a network of ranch-to-market roads and county lanes, including FM 472 and Miguel Rd, which connect these small rural communities. The local economy is visibly shaped by natural resource extraction, centered on the Kyote Oil Field and Kyote Lake in the northern portion of the quadrangle.

Water plays a critical role in the geography of the area, with numerous seasonal drainages such as Lagunillas Creek, Chilipin Creek, and Becerro Creek carving through the terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the Miguel Cemetery provides a focal point for family research in this sparsely populated region. The map also traces the distinct bifurcations of local waterways, most notably the East Fork Ellis Branch and West Fork Ellis Branch, which intersect with FM 1549.
