Excerpt from Notes on the State of Sonora The Mexican State of Sonora, is bounded on the north by that portion of United States territory, called Arizona, in the jurisdiction of New Mexico, on the east by the Mexican State of Chihuahua, from which it is separated by the great mountain chain, the Sierra Madre, on the south by the State of Sinaloa, from which it is separated by the river del Fuerte, and on the west by the Sea of Cortes, (Gulf of California) and the territory of Lower California. The northern boundary line commences on the west, at a point of the Colorado river, twenty miles below the mouth of the Gila river, lat.32 29 44.45 N., long. 114 48 44.53 W., and runs on a great circle of the earth, southeasterly to the intersection of 31 deg. 20 min. north, and the 111 th meridian of longitude west of Greenwich, thence it follows the parallel 31 deg. 30 min., east to near meridian 108 deg. west, thence the boundary line runs north, to parallel 31 deg. 47 min., when it again turns east, following that course to the summit of the great chain which is the limit between Sonora and Chihuahua. The eastern boundary line, has never been exactly determined on the ground by the Mexican government, but it is to be marked along the crest of the Cordillera, which runs nearly south, with occasional deflections from a right line.
