2019 Map of Acala

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico in this arid borderland survey. On the Texas side, the settlement of Acala is the primary focal point, surrounded by a complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure vital to the regional economy. This intricate system includes the Hudspeth Main Canal, Kelly Lateral, and the Upper Drain, which managed water flow across the river valley in the late 2010s. The landscape north of the river is marked by local transit routes such as Alameda and Alamo Lake Rd, while the desert terrain to the east is punctuated by the Alamo Arroyo. Local landmarks like the Miller Spur and Acala Lateral illustrate the specific engineering required to sustain agriculture and habitation in the Hudspeth County desert environment.
