<br />While Rowing past the northwestern
<br />edge of Yuma, the Colorado RIver
<br />passes the Nonherly International
<br />Boundary where the river meets the
<br />border between California and
<br />Mexico,
<br />
<br />The river then flows south for
<br />another 20 mUes where it passes the
<br />Southerly Intemational Boundary
<br />located at San Luis, Arizona, and San
<br />Luis, Sonora, Mexico, where the
<br />river meets the border between
<br />Arizona and Mexico. At the Souther-
<br />

<br />enters exclusively Into Mexico
<br />where responsibility lor the river
<br />ends lor the U,s. Bureau o/Reclama-
<br />tlon and becomes the entire respon-
<br />sibility 01 the Mexican government.
