<div id="ygrps-yiv-656943236">Hi! Realizing the Neutral Zone is long gone, but still<br/>
hoping to actually see the promised tripoint, I<br/>
followed the link to your tripoint guide, where I<br/>
found this more credible (even if older) Soviet topo<br/>
of the area:<br/>

The only substantial info I have yet found on the<br/>
tripoint itself is in:<br/>

. . . especially paragraphs 65, 99 and 119. However,<br/>
IBS Number 111 for IQSA (and 103 for KWSA as well),<br/>
while essentially agreeing with these maps&#39; and the<br/>
UN&#39;s IKQWSA position at the named wadi junction,<br/>
indicate the tripoint was still unmarked as of about<br/>
1970. Nor have I found any evidence of the subsequent<br/>
IQSA demarcation that must have emplaced the specified<br/>
IQSA marker number 1 in the interim. But does anyone<br/>
know anything more about it? Or has anyone yet<br/>
reported a visit to or seen a photo of it? --Jimi<br/>
