it is possible to locate both akbccas & marker 0 fairly precisely<br/>
<br/>
by definition akbccas <br/>
like all the other canadian federal waters tripoints along caus<br/>
falls where caus crosses the low tide line<br/>
or in other words at the leading or wetter edge of the gray dotted <br/>
area on the topo<br/>
<br/>
& this point appears to coincide more or less exactly with the <br/>
next turnpoint to the east of the monument 1 turnpoint <br/>
& thus to fall by measurement 2843 feet east of it<br/>
& by calculation <br/>
at nlat 55d54m43s1 & wlong 130d00m14s0<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
monument 0 falls on the same parallel of latitude<br/>
directly in between the monument 1 & akbccas turnpoints<br/>
but is by computation only 233 feet due east of monument 1<br/>
& careful measurement places it directly beneath the center of <br/>
the capital letter m in the mon 1 designation on the map<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the best akbccas tripoint pic would appear to be the 5th photo in <br/>
the link below<br/>
in which it is roughly centered in the frame<br/>
<br/>
the monument shown in the last pic is likely number 1<br/>
& if so then that places marker 0 just to the right of the photo<br/>
<br/>

&gt; but rather somewhere out in the tidal flats or beyond<br/>
&gt; as also shown here<br/>

&gt; likewise photographed here<br/>
&gt; the long oddly named fjord that causn follows far inland <br/>
&gt; & northward from its southern extremity along nlat 54 forty<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; still there are plenty of plausible looks at both of the mentioned <br/>
&gt; targets <br/>
&gt; on this & the 4 jump pages <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; note<br/>
&gt; it is necessary to call this tripoint akbccas rather than just <br/>
 </span></blockquote>akbcca<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; so as to distinguish it as south akbcca<br/>
&gt; because 2 other akbcca tripoints also occur farther north along <br/>
&gt; the caus line<br/>
&gt; called akbccam & akbccan in northward sequence<br/>
&gt; meaning middle akbcca & north akbcca respectively<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; these latter stand at the head of another fjord named tarr inlet<br/>
&gt; where glacial retreat has exposed a tiny tongue of canadian <br/>
&gt; federal waters between alaskan & british columbian ice<br/>
&gt; which they enclose like mouth corners<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; it is also remarkable to find that bc has not just 1 but 2 sets of <br/>
&gt; these extremely rare triplet tripoints along caus<br/>
&gt; the other being the bccawa trio <br/>
&gt; as recently encountered at point roberts & blaine<br/>
&gt; bccawaw & bccawam & bccawae respectively from west to <br/>
