International Boundary Commission (2395 words) |
 | The boundary vista must be entirely free of obstruction and plainly marked for the proper enforcement of customs, immigration, fishing and other laws of the two nations. |
| The proper definition and demarcation of the boundary is still as essential for law enforcement as it was throughout the history of boundary establishment. |
| The boundary survey from Lake of the Woods to the Red River Settlement was completed in the winters of 1872 and 1873 and the balance to the mountains in the summers of 1873 and 1874. |
| International Boundary Survey (1306 words) |
| Between 1909 and 1912, the International Boundary Commission surveyed, marked and cleared the international boundary (141st meridian) between the Yukon River and the Porcupine River (1909-1910), and between the Porcupine River and the arctic coast (1911-1912). |
| Boundary monuments, campsites, and triangulation sites established within what is now Vuntut National Park are a lasting legacy of this survey (see map Figure 2.4, showing caches, triangulation sites and trail routes). |
| The International Boundary Survey party itself was seen by some as the source of the smallpox epidemic and many people stayed away after 1911 (International Boundary Commission 1918). |
