About this map

Riviera and Vattmannville anchor this coastal plains landscape in southern Kleberg County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages and small lakes. The settlement of Riviera is situated near the junction of several farm-to-market roads, while Vattmannville lies to the northeast along the county line. The map reveals a transition from these residential clusters to an environment of seasonal water bodies, including Araña Lake and Rasita Lake.

Genealogists will find the Riviera Cem and Vattman Cem clearly marked, providing spatial context for local family histories. The southern border is defined by the winding course of Los Olmos Creek, which marks the boundary with Kenedy County. The presence of features like Seth Waterhole and Reservoir Number 1 highlights the critical role of water management in this cattle-ranching and agricultural region, where the land is scored by the beds of Radicha Cr and Salado Cr.
