 </span></blockquote>Thanks.  I like this graph, but what is the scale on the vertical <br/>
axis.  Also have you determined which side was short-changed?  My <br/>
guestimate is that there are more Canadian square kilometers that <br/>
should be American square miles, but how many?  <br/>
<br/>
the monument coordinates are listed at <br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.internationalboundarycommission.org/coordinates/M49thp.txt">http://www.internationalboundarycommission.org/coordinates/M49thp.txt</a><br/>
 and i can calculate the area if you haven&#39;t already. <br/>
<br/>
Actually now I think I can answer my first question myself.  I <br/>
believe the distance between marker 4 and the 49th parallel is about <br/>
250.2 meters.    <br/>
