It was erected in 1843, the first permanent marker on the Canada–United States border. ConstructionSurveyors erected the first marker in 1797, consisting of iron hoops around a yellow birch tree, with a stake in the ground nearby. A square cedar post was installed on July 31, 1817. The permanent cast iron marker was installed in 1843, after the signing of the Webster–Ashburton Treaty. A concrete base was added in 1972. [1] InscriptionsThe inscription on one side reads "Treaty of Washington, Boundary August 9th, 1842". On the other two sides of the marker are the names of the US and British Commissioners,[2] Lieutenant James B. B. Estcourt and Albert Smith. LocationMonument One marks the headwaters of the St. Croix River and the south end of the "North Line", which runs straight north for {{convert|78|miles}}.[3] It is at the western corner of Richmond Parish and North Lake Parish and near to the rural community of Monument.[4] AccessAccess is difficult, as no main roads run to the site. A logging road, accessible from Monument Road, passes nearby, but there is no path to the monument, only a trail marked by pink ribbons. Crossing a wetland area is necessary to approach the monument itself.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/monument-one-swamp-border-history-1.4236045|title=Monument One: A trek to the start of the border|author=Shane Fowler|author2= Jacques Poitras|date=Aug 4, 2017|publisher=CBC News|accessdate=13 August 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.upperstjohn.com/history/northeastborder.htm|title=The Border Dispute: How the Maine-New Brunswick border was finalized|work=www.upperstjohn.com|date=23 Oct 2011|author=Chip Gagnon|accessdate=13 August 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.clui.org/newsletter/winter-2015/boundary-part-1-maine|title=On the Boundary, Part 1: Maine|work=The Lay of the Land|publisher=The Center for Land Use Interpretation|date=2015|accessdate=13 August 2017}} 4. ^[https://www.pxw1.snb.ca/webnbcontrol/snbe/images/Maps/Fredericton/Map096.pdf NB Survey Control Network Map] 5. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraphjournal.com/bugle-observer/story/100291832/monument-border-marker-hike|title=Tough trek in to history at the Maine-N.B. border|author=Nathan DeLong|date=August 4, 2017|work=www.telegraphjournal.com|accessdate=13 August 2017|archiveurl=https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:HCPvnrFd7lgJ:https://www.telegraphjournal.com/bugle-observer/story/100291832/monument-border-marker-hike&num=1&hl=en&gl=ca&strip=1&vwsrc=0|archivedate=6 Aug 2017|via=Google Cache|subscription=yes|dead-url=no}} External links
