Description

Because of careful ranch management, grasses survive in the Animas Valley on the Unites States side of the line (to the right). Overgrazing on the Mexican side encourages creosote (greasewood) bushes to replace the grasses. This view looking west from Monument No. 91 illustrates the visual irony.
