There were a number of Dutch and Port. enclaves on the island until a treaty on 1 Oct 1904.(Probably avilable in Perry&#39;s &quot;Consolidated Treaty Series&quot;).<br/>
A further arbitration on the E. boundary of Oecussi was handed down 25 June 1914 (see &quot;American Journal of International Law&quot;, 1915, 9:240-68)<br/>
<br/>
There are no decent maps of E.Timor, except large scale topos (1:25,000, 1:100,000), though there is at least one tourist-oriented one produced, and old Indonesian province maps.<br/>
