<div id="ygrps-yiv-1070450535">The western city boundary of Espoo (a city west of Helsinki) <br/>
features a very narrow needle-like appendage. I found an on-line map <br/>
of Espoo and one can zoom in to find this needle here:<br/>

<br/>
Best to look for the city name Kauniainen/Grankulla on the little <br/>
map on the home page in the bottom right, then take the yellow road <br/>
west. The needle is just to the north of this. Click on it and zoom <br/>
in for a better view. <br/>
<br/>
I own a large city transit map of Espoo and Kauniainen (a city <br/>
within a city) and can confirm it&#39;s the same kind of border jog. <br/>
<br/>
Any ideas why the western border would stick out like this? Talk <br/>
about narrow! At the maximum zoom the mini-reverse-Caprivi-Strip <br/>
looks as though there is nary a metre between the boundary lines <br/>
(this at the 200 m level). <br/>
