Those of you who study USA state borders may be aware of
USGS Professional Paper 909, dated 1976, which contains
a wealth of info about state borders and border monuments.

I doubt a similar publication exists for Mexico, but am
quite keen to locate written info on the location of the
Sonora/Chihuahua border, particularly the first 100 miles
or so south of the USA line.

The 1:50,000 scale maps of Mexico don't show this border.
Larger scale maps do show a zigzag, straight lined border,
at various locations. (differs on every map ??)

For what it is worth, when driving dangerous highway 2 recently,
the border was marked at the continental divide.
