this especially nice afcnpk result at the gmane
archive
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.culture.discuss.boundary-point/9194
has the image & explanation all on a single easy page
so
the present attachments similarly revisit afcntj &
afirpk
in order to fill these back in also with a
corresponding level of detail
before continuing forward at this level with the rest
of the world tour
please look again in each case for the little
measurement line extending from the erroneous google
overlay tripoint position to the little red square
marking the corrected tripoint position
following are the explanations for these again
first afcntj & then afirpk
just so everything will again be collected in one easy
place
> > all 3 treaties mentioning this tripoint
> > namely afcn & afsu & cnsu
> > actually delineate their convergent borders along
> the ridge lines & water divides
> > which tho not necessarily always the same thing
> everywhere
> > do meet perfectly on the soviet topos
> > at their common trijunction point nearest the
summit
> of povalo shveikovski
