<div id="ygrps-yiv-1811450061">Concerning Peter Smaardijk&#39;s question on the precise course of the<br/>
boundary-line on the old bedelux-tripoint:<br/>
<br/>
- the included topographic map-detail seems to indicate that the<br/>
belux-border to the west is in the middle of the road. The present<br/>
provincial border to the east is however shown at the northern edge of the<br/>
road.<br/>
- to Peter&#39;s scheme I have added a green line which is in my view the exact<br/>
course of the international cq provincial border and probably the course of<br/>
the international borders before 1918<br/>
- so neither of the two bordermarkers  is on the exact tripoint spot,<br/>
understandable because of the inconvenience of putting a border marker in<br/>
the middle of the road. Still a question remains: why is the stone marker B<br/>
not placed on the north side of the road, where the border bends 90 degrees<br/>
to the east? It (or its wooden predecessor) was placed before 1843, the year<br/>
that the belux ironcast markers were placed.<br/>
