Attached (and also at www.mexlist.com/bp/bcjc.jpg ) is an aerial photo map that
I have made to show the Bi-state Criminal Justice Center condominium.
The placement of the boundary around the condominium is predicated upon the
statement in the compact that it embodies "the plant and facilities" of the
BCJC. My interpretation is that this includes the property on which the
building is situated. From my on-site observations, that property appears to be
three-quarters of the city block, the remaining quarter being occupied by a
tall, slim, boarded-up old hotel building. The divided building across Front
Street south of the BCJC is the railroad station. North of the BCJC, the
boundary is shown correctly as it crosses the corner of the sidewalks at the
corner of Pine and Broad Streets.
Before the BCJC was built, State Line Avenue continued through the block on
which it sits--even with the corner of the block to the north jutting into it as
it does. State Line Avenue ended into Front Street in front of the railroad
station by the east corner of the tall old hotel. The main uncertainty in my
mind is whether the right-of-way of the former State Line Avenue might have been
included in the BCJC property. If that is the case, then the boundary between
Arkansas and the condominium along the edge of Front Street would extend all the
way to the ARTX boundary near the corner of the tall old hotel instead of
jutting northwestward to an acute angle. It would probably take a search of
local cadastral records to answer this question and definitively place the
tripoint. Therefore, my map is an approximation.
