They were placed such that from any one marker a surveyor could see both the previous and the next markers along the boundary line. This was done so that if ever a question arose about jurisdiction anywhere along the border, a determination could be made by sighting between two markers.Other peaks named in the treaty but not in the numbered-peak series include T Mountain, in the Stikine Icecap area (57°12′41″N 132°14′54″W). Other peaks on the boundary but not named in the treaty include an unnumbered Boundary Peak in the Icefield Ranges immediately north of the Alsek River (59°50′33″N 138°41′29″W) and Mount Vern Ritchie, to the north of there. Mountain passes on the boundary are few, the most important being Grand Pacific, Chilkat, Chilkoot and White Passes."@en }
