From: Iraq-Kuwait Border Demarcation
Commission
"each location one witness mark on the Iraqi side and one witness mark on
the Kuwaiti side are buried in the ground to facilitate repositioning of the
pillar should it become necessary. Small pointer pillars on either side provide
a direction towards the site of the next pillar."
We see the same marker system at former Soviet borders,
too.
Are the witness markers/country markers in the former
Soviet also technically part of the survey, or are they just placed there with
little considderation?
