1952 Map of Riviera Beach

About this map

Coastal Kleberg County and the Kenedy County border are defined here by the meeting of Laguna Salada and Baffin Bay. The landscape is a distinct mix of maritime geography and early petroleum exploration, where prominent water bodies like Cayo Del Grullo are flanked by numerous Oil Wells and the specifically identified Challo Well 8. The mid-century era is captured in the infrastructure of the U S Naval Reservation Auxiliary Field 65 (Inactive), which sits near the southern edge of the lagoon.
