| Long abstract | The US/Mexico border spans approximately 2000 miles from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pa-cific Ocean. This southern border weaves its way through diverse terrains and waterways: riv-ers, mountains, valleys, grasslands, refuges, reservoirs, reservations, parks, forest, canyons, deserts, dunes, ranches, towns, and farms. The extreme physical diversity of the landscape along the border fluctuates between dense urban sprawl compressed along the dividing fence where one can practically see into a person’s home across the border to remote uncultivated desert areas with ancient geological formations where one may not see a soul for days. An imposing physical barrier creates the division between the two countries. The adjacent landscape on the US side is stripped away to accommodate access for Border Patrol and other federal law enforcement agents. From afar, it appears to resemble an extended landing strip or perhaps an environmental art piece. But at ground level, the conspicuous steel fence is a physical reality. |
