Hi Everyone,
Some of the recent discussions on markers along the banks of border rivers has intrigued me. I'm not sure about why they are located along some rivers in Europe, but along US-Canada riverine borders, border markers are located along the riverfronts. They are erected and maintained by the International Boundary Commission. Maybe the best example is the Detroit River between Michigan and Ontario. The purpose of these 'border markers' is not to mark the precise location, but instead to serve as reference points that can assist surveyors in finding the exact border in the river. Maybe they have the same purpose in Europe. What do you think?
