2016 Map of Schattel

About this map

The settlement of Miguel and the Miguel Cem anchor this South Texas landscape along the Frio and Atascosa county line. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of intermittent waterways, including the winding Lagunillas Cr and Chitipin Cr, which suggest a seasonal drainage pattern typical of the Brush Country. To the northwest, the small community of Schattel sits near Becerrro Cr, connected by a grid of farm-to-market roads and local routes like FM 472 and FM 1549. Local landmarks such as Kijote Lake and the uniquely named Mile and a Half Cr provide specific points of reference for genealogists tracing family landholdings. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where ranching and local transit routes like Miguel Rd and Sadler Rd dictate the settlement footprint.
