Today I coined &#8220;bordersplit.&#8221; It refers to an object cleaved by a boundary line. The way I figure it, if we can use landlocked legitimately then bordersplit should be treated the same way even if it doesn&#8217;t exist in a dictionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular fixation has roots in my November 2009 article discussing a restaurant in North Carolina that <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=2644\">sits directly atop a county tripoint<\/a>.

Let me share a few bordersplit objects with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you consider these instances it may be worth noting that we\u2019ve observed previously that Google Maps borders don&#8217;t have exact precision.
