&gt; I have obtained a copy of map H from the 1842 Belgium-Netherlands <br/>
boundary treaty, which shows a small rectification of the main <br/>
boundary between Castelre and Wortel (Baarle-Nassau & Belgium).<br/>
(nothing to do with the enclaves, just a realignment of the boundary <br/>
so it follows roads rather than leving two tiny plots beside a road <br/>
to the country on the opposite side of that road)<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; The plots of land have a description of land use attached to them. <br/>
Most I can translate but one eludes me. <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; terre labouree = worked/tilled/ploughed land (land under <br/>
cultivation?)<br/>
&gt; sapins = fir trees<br/>
&gt; taillis= copse/coppice/thicket<br/>
&gt; bruyere= heath/heather<br/>
&gt; jardin = garden<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; but can anyone translate &quot;Bois de cheue&quot;? There is what appears to <br/>
be a circumflex (^) over the first e in cheue. And as the &#39;c&#39; is <br/>
lowercase, it is definitely not a placename. I&#39;m guessing its a <br/>
particular type of tree?<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Merci beaucoup!<br/>
