This monument is located at the southernmost point on the continental Divide. It has the coordinates N 31° 29' 49.9" W 108° 12' 31.8 inscribed on the bottom east side.

The location is also known as Crazy Cook Monument.

'Crazy Cook' monument was roughly scribed by a couple of cowboys in 1948 to commemorate the killing of Frank Evans Bo ....? in 1907. Also the gate you see in the border fence on the opposite side of the road by the monument is known as the, 'Los Moscos Gate.' In earlier times this was an unofficial port of entry with a union crest sign in bas relief ordering you to report to the nearest port of entry to declare any goods you may be transporting. 30 years ago you could drive through and on to El Camello, the fartm settlement you see a couple miles off into Mexico. The gate became a major point for smuggling. The national Guard camped out there one summer to close it down.
