Here is what I have received from EE authorities
regarding EELV(RU):
---
Thank you for your interest in Estonian
international borders. Initial
position of Estonian-Latvian border was
defined by a protocol issued by
border arbiter British Colonel Tallents in
1920. The borderline was further
refined by conventions, agreements and
protocols signed between Estonia and
Latvia in 1920, 1923 and 1927 as well as
by resolutions agreed by
Estonian-Latvian Joint Border Commission. The border
built in 1922-1927 was
restored in 1992-1999. Adjustments in the actual
borderline caused by
changes during the 70-year period were introduced by
EstonianLatvian Joint
Border Commission in coordination with local
municipalities from both sides.
Rumours that the border splits buildings in
the Valga/Valka border town are
a misconception.
The Estonian-Latvian
borderline build in 1922-1927 started from the border
mark no. 1 at the
Russian-Estonian-Latvian borders' junction point
(tripoint) situated at the
west bank of the Kudepi River and ended at the
mark no. 442 at the coast of
Livonian Bay.
Estonia restored the border from the mark no. 46+1379 near the
tripoint and
situating on the right coast of the Pedetsi River, to the mark
no. 219 near
the Valga river. From the mark no. 219 to no. 442
(Ainazi/Heinaste) the
border was restored by Latvia.
Position of the
tripoint depends also from Russian Federation. There exist a
preliminary
agreement about the triple point, but we cannot publish the maps
about the
tripoint as well as border lines around that before this agreement
is
accepted by the governments of Estonia and Russia.

But
where is Kudedi river?
On the attached map the EELV border river is called
something else
(Laykchne?)
If the border was marked in the 20'es. Can
these markers still be found. Or
did the Soviets really remove
them?
