1951 Map of Riviera Beach NE

About this map

Jaboncellos Ranch sits atop a subtle rise in this coastal Texas landscape, where the flat terrain is defined more by water and wind than by elevation. In the early 1950s, this portion of Kleberg County was a domain of extensive ranching and groundwater reliance, marked by a network of isolated wells and windmills like Noria Maria Well and the Zacahuistle Well. The map illustrates a transitional environment where freshwater drainage from Tunas Creek and Petronilla Creek meets the tidal influence of the Laguna Madre system.
