City, State ! Mexico<br>port of entry ! City, State ! Notes |- | San Ysidro - Virginia Avenue | [[San Ysidro, San Diego]], [[California]] | El Chaparral | [[Tijuana]], [[Baja California]] | For many years, all trucks entering the U.S. from Tijuana were inspected at this border crossing just west of the [[Interstate 5]] crossing. It closed in 1984 when the [[Otay Mesa, San Diego]] crossing was completed, and where all truck traffic is now inspected. |- | Campo | [[Campo, California]] | Encinal | Encinal, Baja California | Once a popular crossing for tourists in the early 1900s, this crossing was permanently closed during [[World War II]] |- | San Miguel Gate | [[Sells, Arizona]] | El Bajio | El Bajio, Sonora | This crossing, also known also as "the Gate" has never been a legal border crossing for most people. Nomadic Native Americans are permitted use this gate to traverse their land on both sides of the border. |- | Lochiel | [[Lochiel, Arizona]] | Santa Cruz | Santa Cruz de Noria, Sonora | Station of Nogales which closed around 1980 due to lack of traffic. Both border inspection buildings remain. |- | Anapra | [[Sunland Park, New Mexico]] | Anapra | [[Anapra]], [[Chihuahua (state)|Chihuahua]] | Border crossing was built in 1971 with funds from the NM and Juarez governments, with the vision of creating economic development by luring traffic from the busy El Paso crossings. However, with pressure by politicians from Texas who stood to lose liquor tax revenue, the US government refused to staff it. It is unclear if the port ever officially opened. The Mexican federal inspection canopy remains. |- | Cordova | [[El Paso, Texas]] | Cordova | [[Ciudad Juárez]], [[Chihuahua (state)|Chihuahua]] | When the waters of an 1897 Rio Grande flood receded, the river was found to have changed course, resulting in 386 acres of Mexican territory called "Cordova Island" situated north of the river. Boundary markers and a fence were eventually deployed. In 1959, a border crossing opened on the East side of the island. In 1963, Presidents Kennedy and Ordaz signed a treaty that settled the [[Chamizal dispute]] which redistributed land in the area between the US and Mexico. The location where the Cordova crossing was situated (which used to be the only Texas-Mexico border crossing not at the Rio Grande) now lies on Mexican land, on the campus of the [[Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez]]. The crossing closed in 1967 when the new Bridge of the Americas crossing opened, where the new Rio Grande channel and new boundary was established.<ref>{{cite book |last= Morales |first= Fred |year=2002 |title= Cordova Island |publisher= El Paso/Juarez Historical Museum |location= El Paso, TX}}</ref> |- | Heath Canyon | Heath Canyon, Texas | La Linda | [[La Linda, Coahuila]] | [[La Linda International Bridge]]. Bridge crossing was closed in 1989, but the barricaded bridge remains. Mexico had a border inspection station but the US did not. |- | San Ygnacio | [[San Ygnacio, Texas]] | San Ignacio | [[San Ignacio, Tamaulipas]] | A motor boat served as a passenger ferry during the 1950s and 1960s. The US Customs Service operated a border inspection station during those years.<ref>{{cite book |last= Fish |first= Jean Y |year= 1989 |title= Brief History of San Ygnacio |page= 21b |publisher= Zapata County Historical Commission |location= Zapata, TX}}</ref> |- | Zapata | [[Zapata, Texas]] | Guerrero | [[Guerrero Municipality, Tamaulipas|Guerrero, Tamaulipas]] | Suspension toll bridge was opened in 1931. In 1954, [[Falcon Dam]] was completed, and the rising waters left the old town of Zapata, along with the US Customs station and the bridge itself at the bottom of the [[Falcon International Reservoir]]. A new town center was constructed on higher ground outside town.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.zapatausa.com/zapatahistory.html |title= 1000 Square Miles of Unique History |publisher= Zapata County Chamber of Commerce |accessdate= July 1, 2012}}</ref> |- | Mercedes | [[Mercedes, Texas]] | Rio Rico | [[Rio Rico, Tamaulipas]] | The Thayer Bridge (also called the Rio Rico Bridge) was built in 1928 and opened up the Mexican border town of Rio Rico as a tourist destination during prohibition with bars and even a casino.<ref>{{cite news |last= Grubb |first= Roda |title= The Strange Case of Rio Rico |url= http://www.tomesparza.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/RioRico.pdf |work= |location= |page= |accessdate= July 1, 2012}}</ref> The crossing was located about {{convert|2|mi|km|spell=in}} downstream from where the Progreso bridge would later be built. The bridge was destroyed by a flood in 1941. After its destruction, temporary access was provided by ferry and pontoon bridge, but all service had ended by 1946. In 1967, it was discovered that Rio Rico had actually been located on US soil all along, and in 1970, the land was officially ceded to Mexico. Approximately 1000 people who provided evidence they were born in Rio Rico over the years were given US citizenship.<ref name="mysanantonio.com">{{cite web |date= June 20, 2004|url = http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/metro/stories/MYSA062004.1A.RioRico.1aa310cb.html |title = Border town's story has more twists than Rio Grande|publisher = Rio Grande Valley Bureau | accessdate = November 4, 2012 | last=Castillo, Mariano |quote= |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20080207080816/http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/metro/stories/MYSA062004.1A.RioRico.1aa310cb.html |archivedate = February 7, 2008}}</ref> |- |} ==Rail crossings== [[Image:RailTracksMexicali.JPG|thumb|180x230px|Rail tracks on Avenida Adolfo López Mateos in [[Mexicali]] leading north to the border crossing at [[Calexico, California|Calexico]]]] {{inc-transport|date=January 2011}} {| class="wikitable" |+'''Baja California–California''' |- !
