yes & the bzgtmx tripoint if ever there should become one
seems likely to remain in campeche just as shown on your map
tho i have 2 maps here showing it in quintana roo too

& tho it is shocking to see the state borders in the yucatan so
distorted on your map from their familiar martini glass pattern

& tho the bznw corner has never been marked by bz & mx
but has only been defined verbally as the point on the rio azul
where the meridian of bzgtmx crosses it
aha
& thus there could well be some new territory added by belize to
mexico also as a result of the bzgt settlement
& a new question as to which of these 2 mexican states this new
territory would belong to

for belize has at least verbally conceded to guatemala the extra 3
& a half square mile sliver

& the new bzgtmx marker has moved east from the old one to
attach this sliver to guatemala

& mexico has graciously agreed to facilitate everything too
presumably because by the existing definition she too will gain a
few extra square miles in the form of the trapezoidal projection of
this sliver from the 2 bzgtmx markers to the rio azul

so the resultant roughly 250 meter edge of this addition to
mexican territory along the rio azul would abut quintana roo
even as quintana roo is shown on your map
just as surely as the roughly 15 mile long edge of the addition
would abut only campeche as shown on your map

so technically the new territory could be distributed to either or
both of those states without loss of contiguity

& only common sense would attach it to campeche rather than to
quintana roo

but given all the other nonsensical or at least inscrutable border
squiggles mexico seems so fond & capable of
& even assuming your map is as nearly correct as i do
there really is no sure way to predict which of these states will
finally gain the newly created mexican lands abutting the new or
future bzgtmx

i mean
if it & they should ever come into existence

but right now there is a total of about 7 square miles of territory
just blowing in the wind here among the 3 countries
in all 4 directions about the presumptive tripoints
& anything might happen or not happen
