Greetings from New York City, NY, USA
Hello to all boundary members.
My name is Arif Samad and I am a person who is
interested in boundary oddities, problems and
conflicts. I am especially interested in researching
about enclaves and exclaves of the world.
I have researched a few books on international
boundaries. One of them had a map on the Lake of
Woods area where two exclaves of USA was created in
the waters of Canada. This problem has since been
corrected. There is only one other place where an
exclave situation occurs completely within water that
o have knowledge of. I believe one of the countries
involved claim Malawi has two islands and surrounding
waters surrounded by waters of Tanzania.
Among the exclaves I am researching are the exclaves
in Bangladesh-India border. The census handbooks of
both countries do a good job of mapping the area. If
somebody knows another place which contains a detailed
map of the area, please contact. I am also looking at
the extinct situation of Berlin and the 12 or more
exclaves of Berlin that existed including Wuste Mark,
Falkenhagen, Steinstucken, Bottcheborg exclaves among
others. If you have information on detailed maps of
such exclaves, please contact.
The exclaves I know of which are completely surrounded
by another country are Baarle between Netherlands and
Belgium, Campione between Italy and Switzerland,
Busingen and Vereanhof between Germany and
Switzerland, Llivia between Spain and France and the
Exclaves between Bangladesh and India. Please tell me
about others, especially if there are any between
France and Switzerland as I read in a handbook on
borders.
Exclaves that I know not surrounded are Cabinda of
Angola, Alaska. Please inform me of others. Also, if
you have information on former exclaves and have maps
on the subject or know about exclaves within countries
such as switzerland exclaves within cantons, feel free
to contact me.
