the topozone serving dan provided for the easternmost reach of the 49th
parallel sector of the caus international boundary
situated in muskeg bay of sw lake of the woods mn
reveals at least 3 international tongues of land
one of them named there elm point
& all protruding into the lake & into united states territory from the
canadian headland there just ese of middlebro manitoba

these discoveries increase from 5 to at least 8 the number of known cases
of this particular type of geographical oddity on this boundary
made famous by point roberts & the northwest angle
& first summarized in message 222

updated roster
travelling generally west to east
1 point roberts wa
2 name unknown mn
3 name unknown mn
4 elm point mn
& possibly another or others here just east of the above point
5 northwest angle mn
may really be 2 separate projections & so also needs to be rechecked
6 st regis quebec being the only canadian example
7 alburg vt
8 province point vt per brian in message 420

the few remaining uncertainties may be cleared up when topozone sharpens up
its map edges in the lake of the woods area

does any of this matter

scarcely

it only makes some things more common that were formerly thought to be more
rare
but it helps rarity enthusiasts by making rare things rarer
