another very nice one peter
the photo in the link & the published map give reason to expect a pair of condominial tripoints at the ends of the island
namely
fr frsp sp e
&
fr frsp sp w
but your description & the hand drawn map suggest that the condominium territory may have become enclaved within or entirely surrounded by french territory within the river
can you say which is the actual situation on the ground
m
i know some people may not think international tripoints as significant as trinational ones
but they all do seem to me to belong in the same premier or world class
such acknowledgement would also help to appreciate the true nature of the dipunctitrilines
or tricountry lines with condominial tripoint bookends
that occur in the tripoint areas normally simplified as bedelu & defrlu
& perhaps elsewhere
