Fort Hancock and McNary anchor this borderland survey along the United States and Mexico international boundary. The landscape is defined by the Rio Grande and an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure essential for agriculture in this arid region of Hudspeth County. Significant engineered water features like the Diablo Lateral, Lower Drain, and Madden Lateral weave through the terrain, supporting the local fields. To the east, the Madden Ponding Area and Madden Lake sit near the base of the Madden Arroyo, illustrating how runoff is managed in the desert environment. Local transit is facilitated by FM Rd 192 and Wilkey Rd, which connect the small settlements to the broader Chihuahuan Desert landscape.
