<div id="ygrps-yiv-1242859994">There are maps of the 1841 survey of the boundary between the USA and the <br/>
Republic of Texas in the library of the American Philosophical Society in <br/>
Philadelphia.  If you will go to <br/>
www.amphilsoc.org/library/mole/r/rogprintedmaps10b3.htm , click &quot;Texas&quot; in the <br/>
contents, then look at the third Texas item, you will find that the coverage of <br/>
the map sheets is divided at variously numbered &quot;mile mounds.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
Beginning on page six of www.wvsps.org/wvs/WVNL142.pdf , is an article about a <br/>
2001 visit to some of these mounds.<br/>
<br/>
This indicates that there are at least some surviving mounds on LATX and/or ARTX <br/>
(as well as Ellicott&#39;s mounds on LAMS and eastward) that were once international <br/>
boundary markers in addition to the two known international rocks now within the <br/>
USA.<br/>
