2022 Map of Riviera Beach NE

About this map

Hydrological systems define the coastal plains of Kleberg County in this 2022 survey, where the winding courses of Chiltipin Cr and Tunas Cr drain toward the Baffin Bay complex. The landscape is characterized by its intricate wetland margins and the low-elevation drainage patterns typical of the South Texas brush country. While the inland reaches are dominated by a grid of rural access roads and wide open parcels, the eastern portion of the map transitions into the expansive salt flats and shallow estuarine waters that characterize this segment of the Texas shoreline. This recent record from the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern state of these seasonal watercourses and the sparse, primarily agricultural infrastructure that supports the local ranching economy in the vicinity of the coast.
