This most unique parcel of land on either U.S. border is a part of Mexico, though lying north of the Rio Grande. This area of 385 acres was once a smugglers haven. In 1899, starting at the Peyton Packing Co. plant, a channel was dug eastward across the heel of the horseshoe shaped Cordova Bend to relieve flooding, leaving the easily discernible original riverbed as the boundary. Presented by the State National Bank of El Paso, 1962
