Fascinating stuff! I've visited Nogales about a half
dozen times. I seem to remember the fence being fairly accurately
lined up with the monuments in the general vicinity of the port of entry
(the fence was probably less than a foot inside US territory), but I also
remember seeing a monument suspended from a rocky outcropping on a hill a
little to the west of the main crossing area. Another interesting
place is Douglas...I think they may have completed the fence construction
that was going on in the last couple of years, but when I was there, the
only thing separating Douglas from Agua Prieta was a big ditch running
directly on top of the border. I had an interesting conversation
with a US Border Patrol officer who was complaining about spending hours
just sitting in his car looking across the ditch with his
binoculars. Still, I think I would have traded jobs!
