- Its land-port table pairs approximate annual trade values with notes on what each crossing handles and what its traffic can signal.
Field notes
The edition treats border crossings as operational systems: its Laredo note connects traffic to consumer demand, while Detroit is tied to assembly-plant shifts. It also presents photo captions on freight, fencing, reservoirs and aqueducts, using them to distinguish visible infrastructure from less visible legal and budget processes. The port values are explicitly approximate and rounded from agency releases.
