this one is problematic too
there are some clues that pillar 41 of the 1956 franco spanish boundary
commission may serve as the definitive tripoint marker
but no such explicit identification is made by brownlie
the conventional tripoint location
based on colonial administrative definition
is
n lat 27d 40m
w long 8d 40m
but of the 3 boundaries convergent there only the one separating algeria &
western sahara has been demarcated
& this is believed to terminate at pillar 41
which may therefore occupy the above geoposition
to add to the uncertainty
if the moroccan claim to western sahara is sustained
this tripoint will disappear entirely
