1. The War Between U.S. and Mexico Marker

Inscription. The war between U.S. and Mexico ended on Feb. 2, 1848. The exodus of the American troops from Mexico was a boost to Indian Point. There was an uninterrupted flow of homeward bound troops. The treaty gave the U.S. more land which would benefit the Port of Indianola. Goods would flow though the port from the territory the U.S. acquired from Mexico.
