Prescotts "Map of mianland Asia by Treaty" and his "Frontiers of Asia and
Southeast Asia", both Melbourne University Press, mid 1970s. The former has
the documents like Brownlie, the latter has a more readable description of
the boundary formation process for each boundary, and a nice map for each
one too, and covers Brunei, PNG and Timor, whereas the former only covers
Asia from Afghanistan to the Thai/Malaysian border, not the several
Indonesian borders.
Both are available fomr Prof Prescott himeself, new, and resonably priced.

There is no work on America, apart from the USGS "Boundaries of the united
states and the several states", USGS, 1976, USGS professional paper 909,
which superceded the earlier USGS survey bulletin 1212 of 1964, which was a
revision of bulletin 817
of 1930, superceding bulletin 689 of 1923, superceding bulletin 226 of 1904
which superceded bulletin 171 of 1900 which was a 2nd edition of bulletin 13
of 1885.
The latest edition (1976) should still be available from USGS, new.

There is also a long out of print Canadian version, published by the
Canadian Geological survey or whatever they were (bureau of mines maybe).

Europe was covered in the 1800s by Hertlett's Map of Europe by Treaty, but
this is out of date and rare and thus expensive. Good libraries should have
a copy though.
