Assistance with Locating a Town in Galicia

Hello,
I am looking for assistance in locating a town of origin for an ancestor. I located her passenger list. She arrived in the United States in 1913. She was Polish and was from Galicia. On the passenger list, the town name appeared with a couple of different spellings. One was Przeleg, Galicia' and in another part of the record the town was indexed as 'Prselez". I am not having luck finding the modern town in the part of Poland that was formerly Galicia. Any help is appreciated.

There's a place and a lake called "Przełęg", but it's at the other end of Poland:

There's also a village called "Przełęk", but, even though it's much closer to historical Galicia than Przełęg, it doesn't seem to be within historical borders of Galicia, so I'm not sure...:

There's another Przełęk, but in another part of Poland:
