The Spanish borders were determined centuries before 1975. Post-1975 corrections and adjustments if any can be found in the United Nations Treaty Series (1945-), or from the foreign ministries of the relevant countries (Portugal, Spain, France, Andorra, the UK/Gibraltar).
For the story of the Franco-Spanish border, see Peter Sahlins, 1989, "Boundaries: the making of France and spain in the Pyrenees", Uni California Press, Berkeley. It is available in many libraries, and should be easy to find second hand.
Pre-1945 adjustments can be found in the LEague of Nations Treaty Series (1918-40s), and Parry's "Consolidated Treaty Series" (231v. Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., Oceana Publications [1969]-c1981) which reproduces most international treaties from 1648-1920.
