<div id="ygrps-yiv-1111827668">yes azut was never very popular with the locals<br/>
<br/>
when the mormons arrived in deseret aka greater salt<br/>
lake in 1847 <br/>
this whole area was still legally mexico as well as<br/>
practically empty<br/>
& so they quickly fanned out as far as they could in<br/>
all directions<br/>
& would & could well have controlled as far south as<br/>
the grand canyon<br/>
<br/>
but after the usa gained control of most of the<br/>
southwest in 1848<br/>
& established utah territory in 1850 between the 37th<br/>
& 42nd parallels<br/>
from the rockies to california<br/>
the first of 7 successive reductions to mormon<br/>
aspirations had thus already occurred <br/>
along what has since become azut<br/>
<br/>
& this was one of the last state lines to be marked<br/>
too<br/>
<br/>
indeed most of its 277 mileposts that were finally set<br/>
in 1901 are believed to still be just iron pipe stems <br/>

&gt; Hmmm.. I drove through there last month. Due to<br/>
&gt; limited time and the <br/>
&gt; primary goal of visiting the Grand Canyon, the<br/>
&gt; boundary/multipoint <br/>
&gt; opportunities largely had to be forsaken, but I was<br/>
&gt; quite surprised at how <br/>
&gt; poorly the UTAZ line was indicated in the border<br/>
&gt; towns in this area (e.g. <br/>
&gt; Kanab/Fredonia).<br/>
