1934 Map of Schattel

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Schattel and the surrounding ranchlands of Frio and Atascosa counties are captured here in a transition from the early reconnaissance of 1909 to the revised 1934 tactical data. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of San Miguel Creek and Elm Creek, which supported a network of isolated rural schools such as Sand Hollow School, Fisher School, and Shallow Wells School. The importance of water in this semi-arid region is evident through the notation of various Artesian Wells and the namesake Sand Hollow feature. Infrastructure is dominated by the San Antonio Uvalde and Gulf RR and the Mo Pac RR, which facilitated the movement of cattle and goods from sites like Goldfinch and Keystone Ranch. This map provides a clear view of the dispersed settlement patterns and early transportation corridors that shaped South Texas ranching before modern highway development.
