&gt;there might be a gap, but I was citing Van Zandt as an authority that<br/>
&gt;there is no gap, the northern boundary of Washington was defined at time<br/>
&gt;of statehood to follow the US-British boundary (and NOT the 49th)<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>perhaps i am the other bp person you mean here david<br/>
but this is not at all what i meant<br/>
<br/>
in fact this whole conversation about the 49th parallel was just a tangent <br/>
that grew out of someone wildly associating on a different topic i raised at <br/>
about the same time<br/>
namely my search for ors<br/>
the southernmost point of oregon<br/>
<br/>
this search btw has progressed to the point of my now believing ors may <br/>
actually lie on the nvor line rather than the caor line<br/>
tho i am still studying maps<br/>
<br/>
but anyway my point about there being an intervening federal maritime <br/>
territory between point roberts & the rest of washington state is also based <br/>
on van zandt aka bus&ss<br/>
who or which cites the federal law that normally limits state territorial <br/>
waters to 3nm<br/>
<br/>
this detail around point roberts hasnt been picked up by usgs mapping tho <br/>
they do normally show the 3nm limits elsewhere<br/>
yet usgs still knows it is the law of the land<br/>
<br/>
reading such maps may be why many people think point roberts is not an <br/>
exclave of washington state nor of whatcom county<br/>
but so far as i know this law compels that it is<br/>
<br/>
