Description
[Note: Revised for appropriate name of the Tohono O’odham Nation]: The border line divides the Baboquivari Mountains and cuts through the Tohono O’odham Nation. Many washes and arroyos, such as the Gu Oidak, San Simon, and Altar, intersect the border line. Although serving as a border, this fence's primary function is for controlling cattle. As the flash floods hit the fence, the fence swings downstream on the cable, allowing the water and debris to pass. This view is one mile east of Monument No. 149.
