at the oceans edge
currents & waves have built a long low ridge of alluvial materials
under the solid stand of tangled mangroves
behind which tidal lagoons & marshes & river floodplains
choked by heavy swamp grass are subject to regular
inundations
the wet savannah is broken only by narrow tree covered ridges of
older alluvium that deflects the sluggish rivers
causing them to parallel the coast
starting from the coast at punta playa
where there is a terminal monument in nlat 8d33m22s & wlong
59d59m48s
the boundary runs 21 miles in a straight line to the barima river
at its junction with the mururuma river
where there is a second monument in nlat 8d18m44s & wlong
59d48m10s
& thence along the midstream of the latter river
etc etc etc
eventually up to brgyve at mount roraima
but this line & its monumentation circa 1900 have been
repudiated by venezuela
in favor of a highly dubious line along the essequibo
which would give venezuela roughly half of what is generally
recognized as guyana today
