1943 Map of Fort Hancock
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Rio Grande defines the international boundary between the United States and Mexico in this arid West Texas landscape, where early 1940s agricultural development clings to the river's fertile floodplain. An intricate network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Upper Main Canal, Cooke Main Canal, and McNary Main Canal, supported the region's farms near Fort Hancock and Acala. These settlements are closely linked to the transport corridor formed by the Texas and Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads, which parallel the river and serve local stops like Acala Sta.
