Barren Frontier
Photograph by Diane Cook and Len Jenshel

East of Naco, a monument and a barbed-wire fence mark the U.S.-Mexico border. Formerly Mexican territory, the United States purchased southern reaches of Arizona and New Mexico from Mexico in 1853. Five years before that, at the end of the Mexican-American war, Mexico had ceded to the United States much of the territory that now makes up the southwestern U.S.
