The borderlands of the Rio Grande valley are defined here by an intricate system of water management and international boundary lines. Running parallel to the United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos border, the landscape is etched with irrigation and drainage infrastructure including the Hudspeth Main Canal and the Tornillo Drain. These features speak to the complex hydraulic engineering required to sustain agriculture in this arid region of West Texas.
