This is an elaborate
monument consisting of a large stone oblelisk and a plaque mounted on a stone base. Both of these are set on a concrete foundation. The
plaque describes the Manitoba Saskatchewan Boundary Commission of 1968. Access from the US side involves travel through a pasture of steers
and crossing several posted barbed wire fences. There may be easier access from the Canadian side where a farm road terminates just north of
the monument. Also north of this monument is a handsome Manitoba - Saskatchewan boundary monument dated 1968.
