I have a tourist Baarle Map 1:8300. It's named "plattegrond" from 1999. The Belgium part is hatched. I see the triangle and inverted U-shape. As I see the map the road Molenstraat/Turnhoutsweg is all Belgium and therefore not a bi-quadro. On the Baarle topomap 1:25000 the triangle do not show. The topomap is very clear as Belgium is marked red - Holland is beige.

On the topomap I can spot three possible bi-quadros in the eastern mart of Baarle, and one in the western.

1) located on a land between Wisweg/Gierlestraat/Reith in the SE area. On the touristic map 1:8300 their appears to be a tiny connection only a few meters.

2) located further NE on both sides of Wisweg. On tourist a map - a tiny connection.

3) the next enclave NW of enclave 2, on tourist map two seperate enclaves with a gap in between..

4) In the suburb Hoogbraak, between Boschhovense, Leliestraat and Chaamseweg. On tourist map a gap in between.

Yes, I am dissapointed - there is no map evidence of a bi-quadro in Baarle.

I could image our new friend Gärtner have some first hand comments.
