Wow! Good work Peter!
I think I will go down to the Topo map office here
and see if there is a sheet showing the area in detail. Could you imagine
if we've discovered a CAFR land boundary?! How exciting.
By the way, I get a TV channel from St-Pierre on my
satellite system. I love watching their news!

Well, the dream could be
reality!
Found at http://www.st-pierre-et-miquelon.com/musee/tricoche.html
:
"(...) Un de ces îlots, l'île Verte, où l'on aurait à peine la place
de bâtir une maison de taille ordinaire et ses dépendances, contient
ce qu'on appelle en plaisantant " la frontière de terre de
Saint-
Pierre-et-Miquelon ". C'est qu'en effet, il appartient par moitié à
la France et à Terre-Neuve. (...)"
(One of these islands, the Green
Island, with hardly any space to
build a house of normal dimensions and
its annexes, contains what is
jokingly called "the land boundary of
Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon". It
is indeed split in half between France and
Newfoundland)
