monument, interesting place
Originally misplaced one mile east during the Emory's border monument expedition of the 1850s, the concrete and stone structure was moved here in 1892. The marker was replaced during the Barlow expedition to place additional markers for line of sight purposes along the U.S./Mexico border. The structure was carefully reconstructed using the same stones. The monument is an obelisk style.
