That seems very odd. I've never crossed
there... (I suppose I need to make a list!)... but I have no idea why it
wouldn't marked -- especially the vista.
Here's a link to the coordinates to the boundary
markers along the 49th parallel.
Creston BC is located at 116°31' West, and that means that some of
these should have been visible:

And I even found a happy couple near the 49/117
confluence -- with the vista heading west behind them.
So... I don't know!!

Dissapointment
After a recent trip to
the US I was dissapointed at the boarder
crossing of choice. South of
Creston B.C. into Northern Idaho, not
only was the actual border not
marked but looking off into the
distance i could see no markers or even
the 10m wide cut line that
should have been there??? Doug can you shed
some light, have you been
across this one??
