I have some multipointing to share.

On my old site on DK2 tripoints
(http://home.worldonline.dk/jesniel/border/amttp/amttp.htm) you see the
picture of the tp Sønderjyllands Amt, Vejle Amt and Ribe Amt.

Well, this was a different tripoint in 1727 (at least according to the data
I have).

The stream is the border between the Dutchy Schleswig (far bank) and the
Kingdom of Denmark.

Well, what was the the third border then?

It was the customs border. For practical reasons the political border and
customs borders differed. So Danes staying North of Kolding Stream had to
pay customs if they entered Denmark between Kolding Stream and the political
border.

Left of the marker was the area that was Danish, but customswise Schleswig.
