you will probably recognize or be able to guess
correctly the 3 constituent countries from their
digraphs & other clues by now
& tho the geoposition of this tripoint was a matter of
some uncertainty
owing to an imprecise description in a 1909 french
administrative decree
nevertheless brownlie & the ibs agree
french official maps placed the tripoint exactly 1km
east of the eastern extremity of the mare de tizi
aka lake tizi
at the point where a small westward flowing stream
crosses the undemarcated
boundary between the former anglo egyptian sudan &
french equatorial africa
or at approx n lat 10d 57m & e long 22d 52m 30s
& maps by brownlie show this watercourse may be named
bahr aouk or nzili
or the pool of nzili

with the tripoint position shown at upper left
so the attached best guessed tripoint stretching
diagram endeavors to use & combine all the above data
as faithfully as possible
while admittedly the google earth & borderbase guesses
are almost equally as probable
but as i do believe the 1 km measurement is the most
compelling bit of all the evidence
i have accorded this detail the greatest weight
