- hypothetical situation
Does anyone know of any place in the world where a political boundary exactly follows a contour line for a substantial distance (excluding shorelines of

I am not sure if any exists right now, but I read about two cases where the boundary followed a lake-level at a certain time which happened to become contour

Southwest National Park in Tas., and possibly others in Australia follow contours 50m above lake levels. I THINK Cradle Mtn national park might too. How about

Mike The Taylor-Marion boundary cross I thought of exists, only it was my mistake on the fact that the cross does not involve Marion County at all. I found

... Many boundaries follow drainage divides or watershed boundaries. the possibility that a contour would form part of a divide is vanishingly small. David

David, I never meant to sound like saying that continental divide is a contour line. I just thought it was interesting as a boundary line. There are many

On http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=17&n=3672657&e=293685, I cannot see what is being refered to as a fragment or a jig -- the only line that looks like a

that cross alone is so gorgeous to actually see on a map like in the middle of georgia man so now we have jungholz & baarle & maybe bengal with world class

The boundary is a straight line, and probably made sense in days of yore. Since the creation of the lake by damming a river, the boundary cuts through the lake

In Georgia, I personally am fond of the weird shape of Ware county. I d like to know the history of countyr formation in this area. It is a pene-enclave down

- Re: [BoundaryPoint] hypothetical situation
Very interesting that you consider a perfectly straight line to be jiggy! I have never understood at all why any of the BoundaryPoint people think it is odd

- Re: [BoundaryPoint] hypothetical situation
Just my two cents - the tongues of lands jutting out caused by water boundaries in county levels are interesting, though not as interesting as true enclaves

another nice esthetic analysis david i believe i agree with you & arif & brendan here in feeling it is the oddity that jacks the interest level rather than
