The Gadsden Purchase was an 1854 treaty between the United States and Mexico. In exchange for $10 million the United States gained 29,640 square miles of land from Mexico. This land makes up a big chunk of southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. In addition to the land, the United States resolved several territorial disputes between Mexico and issues related to a southern transcontinental railroad.
