 * The obelisks were moved southward approximately 20 m (70 ft), onto the property of private landowners in Sonora, as part of the larger project of installing the 18-foot (5.5 m) steel barrier wall. The land needed for the wall is not just vertical but it also needs width to work with possibly up to 66ft of space. This space can be hard to obtain due to the urban and mountainous regions along the border.
