1954 Map of Riviera
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Kingsville Naval Air Station anchors the northern portion of this South Texas coastal plain, revealing the significant military presence in Kleberg County during the mid-1950s. The landscape is a mosaic of sprawling cattle traps and ranching operations, such as the Santa Cruz Trap and Monte Verde Trap, defined by an extensive network of fences and family-named windmills like Libertad Windmill and Banqueros Windmill. These water sources were vital for the region's livestock economy, appearing alongside industrial developments like the Borregos Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Wells.
