Technically the border goes through the middle of the lake, and each side has their own legal name.

Is it legally one lake with two names, or two lakes with one name?

What should customers in neither country see displayed? What if the federal government renames New Mexico to New America, but the state government refuses?

>each side has their own legal name.

I think there's some question as to whether the President can just rename things with an EO - what's the legal name of that lake right now from a US standpoint - there isn't a 100% answer for that.
