About this map

The settlement of Miguel and its adjacent Miguel Cem serve as focal points in this section of Frio County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of intermittent waterways. The boundary between Frio County and Atascosa County runs north-to-south through a region dominated by ranch roads and cattle-country infrastructure. Water drainage patterns are particularly dense here, with Lagunillas Cr winding eastward to meet various tributaries like Ellis Br and Elm Cr.

Further west, the small community of Schattel sits along FM 472, marking a transition toward more established farm-to-market routes. The presence of features such as Kyote Lake in the north and the uniquely named Mile and a Half Cr to the northeast suggests a rural environment where water management and local landmarks remain central to the area's identity. This 2019 survey documents the enduring pastoral character and family-held land tracts typical of South Texas.
