Point Roberts, WA, is a quirky US exclave on the southern tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, surrounded by Canada and water. It's only accessible by land through Canada. Historically, it stayed American due to the 1846 Oregon Treaty, which set the 49th parallel as the border, cutting it off. Purely a map quirk; no deep reason. Why fuss over a tiny speck?

Why can’t I see any of these original notes?

Do you see this one?
