<div id="ygrps-yiv-428979870">The 1925 treaty tells us that the maximum width of the average &quot;sliver&quot; was four<br/>
inches, and the maximum width of the largest one was 21.6 inches.  That should<br/>
be enough difference to receive notice at some points, given the level of<br/>
settlement in the region by 1925 when the change was made.  The reality, though,<br/>
is that lines of sight between intervisible monuments were probably already<br/>
being taken as the a folk boundary by the folks along the boundary.<br/>

<br/>
thanxx to both of you for picking this intrinsically interesting nit<br/>
regardless of its irrelevancy to multipointing<br/>
since<br/>
in fairness<br/>
something on the order of 30 acres worth of infinitesimal slivers<br/>
of land were technically gained by the usa from it<br/>
<br/>
i have to wonder tho if any of these slivers were ever actually<br/>
perceived or accurately depicted or actually involved in any other<br/>
way in anything real<br/>
rather than only imagined for purposes of fascination </span></blockquote></div>
