Fuerte River -- Encyclopædia Britannica (761 words) |
 | Spanish Río Fuerte, river in northwestern Mexico, formed in Chihuahua state by the junction of the Verde and Urique rivers, and descending generally southwestward through Sinaloa state from the Sierra Madre Occidental to the Gulf of California, 27 miles (43 km) west of Los Mochis at Lechuguilla Island. |
| Fuerte Olimpo, which lies in the thinly populated Chaco Boreal, is the area's principal port and serves as a trade centre. |
| The creation of the Fuerte River irrigation district in the 1950s led to the growth of Los Mochis as an agricultural (corn [maize], cotton, sugarcane, tomatoes, and other crops and cattle and pigs) centre. |
