1943 Map of Fort Hancock
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Rio Grande valley in Hudspeth County serves as the focal point for this wartime survey, illustrating the complex irrigation and transportation network required to sustain agriculture in the West Texas desert. At the center of this landscape is Fort Hancock, situated near the confluence of several major drainage systems including Arroyo Alamo and Arroyo Rice. The map highlights a sophisticated hydraulic system featuring the Upper Main Canal, Cooke Canal, and several lateral drains that delineate the productive fields from the arid Rimrock terrain to the northeast.
