1952 Map of Riviera Beach NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The coastal ranchlands of South Texas are defined here by a network of essential water sources and the shifting shoreline of Cayo Del Grullo. This landscape, characterized by the 1952 field check and 1975 revisions, shows a reliance on deep-well infrastructure such as Telephone Well and Mesquite Well to sustain life and industry in an arid environment. The map captures a transition between the wilder terrain of Madero Lake and the organized footprint of the U S Naval Reservation along the western edge of the inlet. Tributaries like Tunas Creek and Pinto Creek cut through the sandy plains, while the tidal flats of Sand and Mud indicate the complex hydrology where meteorological conditions frequently shift the water stages. This record serves as a precise document of property boundaries and remote landmarks in Kleberg County before modern development altered the rural ranching character.
