International Boundary Marker No. 1, U.S. and Mexico
International Boundary Marker No. 1, U.S. and Mexico, Boundary marker in Doña Ana County, United States.
The International Boundary Marker No. 1 stands 12 feet tall with a 5-foot square base, marking the western land boundary between Mexico and United States.
The Emory-Salazar Commission installed this marker in 1855 following the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which established new territorial boundaries after the Mexican-American War.
The marker features inscriptions in English and Spanish, representing the permanent territorial agreement between the United States and Mexico after significant boundary changes.
Visitors can locate the marker near Sunland Park off McNutt Road, approximately 2.6 miles south of Racetrack Drive in New Mexico.
This monument belongs to a series of 276 markers along the western border and received a concrete slab platform during its 1966 refurbishment.
