Border vista

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The vista along the Canada – United States border, as seen from a wayside on the Alaska Highway.

A border vista or boundary vista is any defined cleared space between two areas of foliage intended to provide a clear demarcation line between the two areas. Border vistas are most commonly found along undefended international boundary lines and in landscaping.[1]

The best-known border vista is a six-metre (20 ft) cleared space around unguarded portions of the Canada – United States border.[2]
