2016 Map of Acala

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos on this borderlands survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure essential for agriculture in this arid region of Hudspeth County, Texas. Features such as the Hudspeth Main Canal, Acala Lateral, and Young Lateral crisscross the floodplains, reflecting a sophisticated water management system that supports the settlements of Acala and Fort Hancock. Local geography is further marked by the Alamo Arroyo and a series of named drains like the Piedra Cooke Drain and Upper Drain. Regional connectivity is represented by roadways such as Alameda and Alamo Lake Rd, which link the various laterals and spurs that anchor the local rural economy.
