Well, the area around here is pretty underpopulated, with no strategic  
value that I can think of, and it is definitely low resolution. Its  
interesting, the whole border is clears as newsprint, and you can see  
Guatemalan incursions from the Peten into Belize for shifting  
cultivation. SOme of the areas, up in Chiquibul, have trails going in  
several kilometers from the border visible on Google Earth.
