southernmost dry point of southeast alaska<br/>
& southern extremity of the alaska caus sector<br/>
as well as the actual reference for the original 54<br/>
forty or fight fight<br/>
that you may recall was averted by extending the 49th<br/>
parallel caus sector from the rockies to the pacific<br/>
in 1846 <br/>
<br/>
curiously tho & only incidentally<br/>
this nick point is not the southermost dry point of<br/>
all alaska <br/>
since our friend amatignak island in the aleutians<br/>
of recent highest dry west longitude in the usa fame <br/>
actually has the added or prior distinction of being<br/>
home to the southernmost dry point of all alaska also <br/>
<br/>
but anyway from here you can zoom all the way out &<br/>
pan east thru dixon entrance into portland canal to<br/>
see the overall dispute area & relate it to the rest<br/>
of caus2akbc if necessary<br/>
<br/>
then a good short treatise on the caus dispute<br/>
surrounding cape muzon with good maps circa 1991<br/>

& other than that <br/>
this egregious tho not unique caus loose end <br/>
just seems to be flapping elusively in the breeze<br/>
