2019 Map of Ricardo

About this map

Kingsville and the neighboring settlement of Ricardo dominate this South Texas landscape, defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and local infrastructure. The transition from the urban grid of southern Kingsville into the rural reaches of Kleberg County is marked by the presence of Kingsville Naval Air Station to the northeast and the recreational waters of Dick Kleberg Park Lake. The terrain is etched by the meandering paths of Santa Gertrudis Creek and San Fernando Creek, which wind through a mosaic of farm roads and cattle country. This modern survey captures the enduring layout of the region's agricultural and military geography, including smaller place names like Rosendahl and the headwaters of Jaboncillos Cr and Ebanito Cr further south, providing a clear view of how development has followed the natural contours of the coastal plain.
