Chamizal National Memorial

Chamizal National Memorial
These cement fence posts marked the border of Cordova Island, a pocket of Mexican land that was completely surrounded by the United States.

Chamizal National Memorial commemorates the peaceful resolution of a 100 year old border dispute between the United States and Mexico. It was caused by the changing course of the Rio Grande River through El Paso, Texas, which was the official border between the two countries.
