2019 Map of Fort Hancock

About this map

Fort Hancock serves as the focal point of this Hudspeth County borderland, situated where the high desert meets the irrigated agricultural corridor of the Rio Grande. The landscape is defined by its complex water management system, featuring an intricate network of channels such as Davis Lateral, McNary Lateral, and Middle Drain that support the valley's cultivation. Beyond the irrigated fields, the terrain rises into arid uplands carved by seasonal drainages including Alamo Arroyo and Arroyo Diablo, while Finley Tank provides a reliable water source in the higher elevations. The international border is clearly delineated, anchored by the El Porvenir Bridge, reflecting the community's role as a gateway between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Locally named streets like Ross Ave and Huffman St trace the grid of the settlement, contrasting with the wide-reaching infrastructure of Farm Rd 1088.
