International Boundary Between United States and Mexico Approved in 2009 by...

This dataset was created to provide resource managers, public officials, researchers, and the general public with ready access to the location of the international boundary for use to develop binational datasets that depict various land use/land cover datasets including resource utilization, environmental quality, and human health.This provisional international boundary was developed by the International Boundary and Water Commission-United States and Mexico (IBWC), to be used as a common boundary for the clipping and geometric integration of binational geospatial data sets and represents the international boundary as agreed upon by the Governments of the United States and Mexico in accordance with the 1970 Boundary Treaty. It provides an electronic, spatially referenced representation of the international boundary that may be used for the purposes of displaying the boundary and to integrate binational datasets tied into the boundary line.This version of the International Boundary Line corresponds to the line shown on the 2008 International Boundary Maps that were approved in 2009 by Minute 315.
