my apologies as my email service seems to have
truncated the all important map
oops & yikes
so here it is again in case anyone else was trying to
follow this
http://www.laprensa.com.sv/nacion/Las%20aguas%20en%20condominio.pdf

& good thing too
because the exciting news i realize at last it all
boils down to
is
either
as already claimed
we have discovered a hitherto unnoticed or unreported
tridominial area
hnnisv2
or
here & now for the first time
we have discovered & indeed pinpointed a hitherto
unnoticed or unreported world class tripoint
hnnisv
& it can be precisely visualized on the above map
on the midpoint of the blue dotted line due west of
the kilometer bar
if your imagined reading of the 1900 text is right

i mean of course we implicitly or unconsciously knew
it had to exist somewhere but now we may actually know
where
if you are right about that

so either way it is big win big win
