2010 Map of Fort Hancock

About this map

The international border between the United States and Mexico follows the meandering course of the Rio Grande in this desert region of Hudspeth County. The community of Fort Hancock serves as a local hub, defined by a grid of streets including Knox Ave and E Tomasina St. This 2010 survey highlights the critical role of water management in the arid landscape, featuring the El Porvenir Bridge crossing the river and a series of irrigation and flood control works. These include the Davis Drain, Middle Drain, and Wells Drain, alongside significant infrastructure like the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Dam and its associated Reservoir. To the north and south, ranching footprints are visible at Lutich Ranch and around Finley Tank, while Walker Lake sits near the river's edge.
