How to Use This Riviera, Texas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Riviera, Texas. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Texas or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Riviera.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Riviera occupies a flat, sun-bleached expanse where the horizon stretches thin and taut, meeting the sky in an unbroken line of pale, shimmering light. It lies 15.2 miles south of Kingsville, TX (from Kingsville, TX: bearing 170°T), and is situated 19.9 miles south of Bishop. The earth here is defined by a quiet, arid resilience, with Salado Creek carving a shallow, winding path through the brush just a mile away, its presence marked by the deepening of the green against the surrounding dry plains. Beyond the immediate scrub, the moisture-heavy air whispers of the coastline only two miles distant, carrying the sharp, briny signature of the salt flats. To the north, the distant rise of Alto de la Cruz provides the only vertical interruption to a landscape that otherwise favors the wide, horizontal patience of the coastal prairie.

Riviera maintains a steady, deliberate pace, anchored in the traditions of ranching and the quiet labor of those who work the soil and the nearby waters. The economic life of the region remains tied to the land, reflecting a history of settlement that values endurance over rapid change. Residents often look toward the tranquil reaches of Laguna De Los Olmos for the rhythms of the tide or venture toward Cayo Lake when the heat of the afternoon demands the stillness of deeper waters. For those seeking the solace of the outdoors, Sea Wind RV Resort & Kaufer-Hubert Memorial Park offers a space to observe the coastal birds that navigate the currents above, serving as a focal point for the community’s connection to the natural cycles that define life in this corner of the world.

About This Riviera Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Riviera, Texas. Coordinates: 27.299534, -97.79809. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Riviera includes the ZIP code (78379), telephone area code (830), county seat of Kleberg County (Kingsville), and school district assignment (Riviera Independent School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
