actually this map
which turns out to be about 48k scale on my computer screen
is maybe not so bad after all

& it shows 4 credible road crossings
as well as possibly 2 peneclaves or international tongues
at the east end
apart from those on the island that has been questioned

the map is generally credible tho
given all the exacting detail it includes

however
prescott
who has perhaps never been wrong about anything
shows the west end of the border issuing on the north shore
rather than on the west
in his 1985 maritime border map

& of course the treaties have still not been found

so it is still anybodys guess what is really going on here
