Greetings,

I just created a new album in the Photos database, entitled "Neutral
Zones". I populated it with two Korean military maps.

On the Han River, from the point where the Demilitarized Zone's
western end meets the river, there is a Neutral Zone extending
westward to a UN Zone separating Korea from China. The map sections
show the SW and NE ends of the Zone.

For you tri and quadpoint freaks, the eastern end of the Neutral Zone
ends at the demarcation line in the center of the demilitarized zone
separating north and south Korea. The Quadpoint there separates
international entities as follows:

|
NK DMZ | UN DMZ
|
------ ------- River bank
|
Neutral | SKorea
|


West of the Neutral Zone there are islands either within the North
Korean waters or international waters (in any case north of the DMZ)
that other maps also show with international borders around them.
inside the marked sea borders, there are annotations "Island Under UN
Control".

So now we have the concept of sovereign south Korea with enclaves
within it showing as under UN control (By "within", I mean ther are
UN compounds on land in South Korea - I can post a couple of maps for
those expressing interest. The nature of this presence seems to be
more than just "bases".

Regards
