There are more boundary markers without a number on that map. E.g.
1130 near the former railway bridge.

A picture of this spot (regrettably without the marker, although the
author of this site mentions that there is one there) can be found at
http://strony3.wp.pl/wp/arturgarbacz/wlodawa.htm (last picture - it
can be enlarged). It says here that the remains of the bridge pillars
can still be seen (look for the waves in the water - the pillars are
just beneath the water surface). The other side is Byelorussia.

The dash-dot line constantly switching sides (of roads, rivers etc.)
is a common feature on many maps. It is mainly because of the
inability to superimpose two linear features on maps. The
Heringsbosch case is an extreme example in this respect. Rest assured
that the boundary in the Bug doesn't follow that line.
