About this map

St Mary Chapel and the nearby Covey Chapel Cem stand as central landmarks in this rural South Texas landscape, situated just north of the Frio Co La Salle Co line. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of Dry Cibolo Creek and Snake Cibolo Creek, which weave through the brush country alongside Big Hollow and Panther Hollow.

Evidence of local resource extraction is visible at the Gravel Pits near the center of the quadrangle. The map also records an Indefinite Boundary and a high density of wells, reflecting the region's reliance on groundwater and its development for ranching or energy interests during the mid-1970s. This survey offers a clear view of the transition between the two counties before modern expansion altered the footprint of these local landmarks.
