In 1925, a further treaty made minor adjustments in the boundary<br/>
line at Grand Manan Channel, at the northwesternmost point of Lake<br/>
of the Woods, and on the 49th parallel, where the boundary was<br/>
changed from a slightly curved line between monuments to a series<br/>
of straight lines. In this treaty, provision was made for the<br/>
continued maintenance of the international boundary by the<br/>
Commissioners appointed under the treaty of 1908 and by their<br/>
successors.<br/>
