&gt; good to be reminded of this even if only about 3 pages are relevant<br/>
&gt; since it does indeed explain & dispose of all the apparent anomalies<br/>
&gt; & inconsistencies we have been observing<br/>
&gt; indeed all except for the question about the territorial waters of<br/>
&gt; the state of washington<br/>
&gt; where we began<br/>
&gt; & where we are still seeking the proof that closing lines at the<br/>
&gt; heads of georgia & juan de fuca straits force the entire american<br/>
&gt; portion of the enclosed area into the state of washington<br/>
&gt; & out of the federal domain<br/>
&gt; even where the enclosed waters extend more than 3nm from the coasts<br/>
&gt; as you suggest at the end of message 12561<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; & as i would be glad to buy & have finally resolved<br/>
&gt; if you could show the proof<br/>
<br/>
I buy the boundary specified at the admission of Washington that follows CAUS to<br/>
the Pacific Ocean, but if you don&#39;t, your final resolution will surely be found<br/>
in Section 1312 of the Submerged Lands Act, as I posted earlier today;<br/>
specifically:  &quot;Any State admitted subsequent to the formation of the Union<br/>
which has not already done so may extend its seaward boundaries to a line three<br/>
geographical miles distant from its coast line, or to the international<br/>
boundaries of the United States in the Great Lakes or any other body of water<br/>
traversed by such boundaries.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
&gt; wish i could see the missing final illustration tho<br/>
&gt; since the text & caption suggest it may elucidate the position of the<br/>
&gt; elusive lamsus tripoint<br/>
&gt; one of the last few blank spots among the 85 american tripoints that<br/>
&gt; have been confirmed to exist<br/>
<br/>
I will look into the SCOTUS decree on the Mississippi seaward boundary and see<br/>
if I can deduce an exact point for the LAMSUS tripoint.  From the Official Map<br/>
of Louisiana 2000, it is evident that the 1906 decree of LAMS has been extended<br/>
eastward.  LAMS 1906 terminated at about 89° W Long., leaving an undefined gap<br/>
in the boundary of Louisiana between there and northern end of the 3nm line<br/>
parallel with the seaward shore of Chandeleur Island.  This gap exists on the<br/>
1981 edition of the Official Map of Louisiana (which covers the wall beind my<br/>
computer, but it is gone on the 2000 edition.  I suspect that the gap was left<br/>
pending the Mississippi decree, which came in 1985.<br/>
