According to the text on Eef's page (the protocol of 1841), there
were two parcels of land (nos. 119 and 120 of section F, "De Reth"),
that were reported as being divided between Belgium and the
Netherlands:
"Van het perceel no. 119 groot 1.98.00 behoort
aan de gemeente Baarle-Nassau 1.24.60. aan de gemeente Baarle-Hertog
0.73.40.
Van het perceel no. 120 groot 1.53.90 behoort
aan de gemeente Baarle-Nassau 1.01.90. aan de gemeente Baarle-Hertog
0.52.00."
Those two parcels can be seen on the original cadastral map on
http://www.dewoonomgeving.nl/ . Choose "Zoek -> Kaart -> Gemeente";
type in "Baarle-Nassau" in the box below, click on "zoeken", then
choose from the pull-down menu "NoordBrabant - Baarle-Nassau - F - De
Reth - 1", and click on "Toon Minuutplan". You can zoom in twice.
Baarle-Hertog territory is coloured green.
The cadastre would have the exact co-ordinates, I think.
