Defined boundaries

DEFINED BOUNDARY

A defined boundary is a legally established line that marks the limits of a political unit or territory. These boundaries are often described in legal documents or treaties. 

Defined boundaries are important for establishing: 

Sovereignty: The sovereignty of states 

Jurisdiction: Clear jurisdictions for governance, resource management, and territorial claims 

Identity: Identity among political entities or states 

Clarity: Clarity in political organization 

Boundaries can be physical, conceptual, or natural: 

Physical boundaries: Natural barriers between two areas, such as rivers, oceans, deserts, or mountain ranges 

Conceptual boundaries: Lines on a map or a legal demarcation 

Natural boundaries: Boundaries based on natural features, such as rivers, mountains, or deserts 

Boundaries can be a source of conflict or tension, especially when there are disputes over their location.


Defined boundaries are established by a legal document. Delimited boundaries are drawn on a map. Demarcated boundaries are identified by physical objects, like walls, signs, and fences. Any boundary is also determined by either natural or geometric lines.


Borders are generally defined as geographical boundaries, imposed either by features such as oceans and terrain, or by political entities such as governments.


Defined borders are the clearly established and recognized boundaries that delineate the territorial limits of a state or political entity.


The world is full of boundaries but not all look or function the same...


A boundary is an invisible line that marks the extent of a state's territory. Boundaries are learned, accepted and occasionally challenged. But not all boundaries function the same.


Boundaries first begin by DEFINING where the lines will be set. Definition, in political geography, is the written legal description (as in a treaty-like document) of a boundary between two countries or territories. 


The Berlin Conference was a conference regulating European colonization and trade in Africa, held in Berlin, Germany in 1884. It began by settling a dispute over the Congo between Belgium, France and Portugal. It resulted in the “Scramble for Africa,” and the subjugation of African nations. The "General Act of the Berlin Conference of West Africa" was the legal definition of which regions European powers had exclusive rights over.


Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention famously includes “a defined territory” among the four qualifications for statehood. This requirement is seen as reflective of customary law by many, whereas others hold the view that a defined territory is a pre-legal condition for exercising sovereignty in a community of equal states. Even if this can be doubted, based on the observation that some territorial entities in world history have fared well even with no clear understanding of their precise borders, it is true that the current international society has accepted the idea that boundaries are necessary. All in all, the idea that a “defined territory” is a prerequisite for statehood must allow for the possibility of some segments of the frontier line being undetermined (here and in the following we use the words “boundary,” “border,” and “frontier” interchangeably). This bibliography lists a number of items as starting references for research on the concept of a boundary, its history, its application in specific geographical contexts, and its role in interstate disputes (having in mind that the distinction between boundary and territorial disputes is a matter of quantity rather than quality). The point of view is primarily legal, but other perspectives—sociological, historical, geographical, anthropological, and political, inter alia—have given rise to a copious literature, including no less than five journals devoted to borders and border areas (Journal of Borderlands Studies; International Journal of Migration and Border Studies; Border and Regional Studies; Borders in Globalization Review; and Journal of Territorial and Maritime Studies). Since these approaches may be fruitful in light of what is usually known as cross-fertilization among different disciplines, non-legal studies are occasionally referred to, convinced as we are that lawyers should not ignore the origins, consequences, and other “surroundings” of their objects of study. Conversely, we leave out those subjects that are extensively covered by other Oxford Bibliographies articles, such as “Territorial Title”, “Secession,” and, save for some scattered bibliographic elements, “Uti Possidetis Iuris” (but other entries are quoted below). Some internal cross-references, to be found in introductory paragraphs and elsewhere, are present, given the unavoidable overlapping between sections.


Boundaries and Geography

Interest in boundaries in an international law perspective breeds interest in the actual position of boundary lines, both on maps and on the ground. Unfortunately, no official cartographic work is available; even if it were, the issue of its constant update would remain (for instance, the complete International Boundaries: A Geopolitical Atlas, authored by Ewan W. Anderson and published by Routledge, dates back to 2003). The problem could be tackled by making geographical data available online, which is done by the World Bank Official Boundaries project (also at an intra-state level, which would prove useful when uti possidetis becomes applicable) and other databases. The United Nations Initiative on Global Geospatial Information Management aims to improve states’ capacity to collect topographical data, whereas the mandate of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names includes addressing the issue of cartographic denominations (which may be relevant in boundary disputes). One has to keep in mind, though, the disclaimer repeated by these organizations: designations and maps do not imply the expression of such bodies’ opinion concerning the delimitation of boundaries. However, a role of these institutions in boundary-marking is advocated by Claussen 2009, especially by making use of advanced technological tools. Geographers like Samuel Whittemore Boggs and Stephen B. Jones, in turn, have stressed the difficulty of carrying out actual demarcation starting from delimitation as set out in treaties and maps (Whittemore Boggs 1940, Jones 1943, and Jones 1945). Speaking of inter-state agreements and border lines drawn over maps, even if no atlas exists that can provide reliable and up-to-date information on boundaries, especially those that are contested, the international lawyer may be interested in works—such as Tertrais and Papin 2016 and Nikolic 2019—which focus on specific boundary settings, chosen for their saliency or strangeness. Far from being a mere divertissement, this literature shows how political needs may shape boundaries in unexpected ways. For a longer historical account, still rich in maps, see Foucher 1991; it could perhaps have featured in the next section (General Overviews), so it can be seen as the trait d’union with it. https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/display/document/obo-9780199796953/obo-9780199796953-0244.xml 


Defined Boundary. boundary is created in agreement between two parties in a treaty or other legal document · Delimited Boundary · Demarcated Boundary · 4 Purposes ...


Defined boundaries are legally established lines that mark the limits of a country's territory, and they are essential for establishing a country's sovereignty, identity, and jurisdiction. They can be described in legal documents or treaties, and can include physical markers like walls, fences, or signs, or abstract legal descriptions. 

Defined boundaries are important for a number of reasons, including: 

Preventing disputes

Defined boundaries help to ensure clarity in political organization and prevent disputes. 

Establishing jurisdiction

Defined boundaries help to establish clear jurisdictions for resource management, governance, and territorial claims. 

Influencing migration patterns

Defined boundaries can affect migration patterns, trade, and cultural interactions between nations. 

Shaping identity and governance

Defined boundaries can shape the identity and governance of states. 

Boundaries can be natural or geometric, and can be influenced by historical conflicts, treaties, and negotiations. For example, some political borders are based on natural features like rivers, mountains, or deserts. The Niagara River, the Rio Grande, the Rhine, the Mekong, and the Ichamati river are all examples of natural borders that have been used to define political borders.


Defined boundaries refer to the specific and clear demarcation of a territory, outlining the limits of political control and governance.


A defined boundary is a legally established line that marks the limits of a particular territory or political unit, often described in legal documents or treaties.


Boundaries are defined lines or limits that demarcate the territorial extent of a political entity, such as a country, state, or region. They play a crucial role in political geography by determining jurisdiction, governance, and the relationship between different political entities.


Geographic boundaries are defined lines that separate different political or territorial entities, such as countries, states, or regions. These boundaries can be physical, like rivers or mountains, or artificial, created through legal agreements and treaties


Rivers, coastlines ( on the Great lakes, for example) , and mountains. These are all natural boundaries.

# 368 The Cox Mound, or Woodpecker (S'akwa), gorget style is a particularly beautiful and enduring symbol of Tennessee's prehistoric inhabitants. A gorget was a pendant, or personal adornment, worn around the neck as a badge of rank or insignia of status. Just over thirty Cox Mound-style gorgets have been found since the late nineteenth century, primarily from prehistoric Mississippian stone box graves and villages along the lower Tennessee, Cumberland, Duck, Harpeth, and Buffalo Rivers of Middle Tennessee, and the middle Tennessee River valley of northern Alabama. Typically, Cox Mound gorgets were manufactured on exotic marine shell and were white in color, although slate versions have been found. A Cox Mound gorget has three important iconographic elements. In the center is the yati: a cross inside a rayed circle or sun motif. The cross is symbolic of the sacred, community fire. The sun represents the Yuchi deity. Surrounding the cross and sun is a scroll-like design element known as the rainbow path. It represents our path trough life & is part of several dances on the Rainbow Square Grounds of the Green Corn Rite. Typically the looped square is composed of four lines, but in some cases only three lines are used. Four crested bird heads, which represent pileated woodpeckers, are found on the outer edge. The woodpecker heads always are oriented in a counterclockwise direction, suggestive of the prehistoric Native American swastika. The S'akwaya gorget was worn by priest scribes, and not war chiefs as has been theorized. The proof that they were not war symbols is that both men and women wore them and were buried with them. A scribe was called S'akwaya as was the famous Sequoyah, the scribe who rendered Cherokee into the MesoAmerican Syllabary structure.

Did You Know: The Misunderstood Swastika

Written by Debbie Neece of the Bartlesville Area History Museum and published in the October 2021 edition of bimonthly magazine.


The Johnstone Park bridge, with swastikas on the columns.

As the result of a park bond election on August 31, 1915, the City of Bartlesville was able to purchase parkland from the families of early Bartlesville pioneers on January 13, 1916. Lucy Armstrong whose father was Arthur Armstrong, sold 16 acres; Nellie Johnstone Cannon whose father was William Johnstone, sold 40 acres; and Joseph Bartles whose father was Jacob Bartles, recognized as the founder of Bartlesville and Dewey, gifted additional land towards the park effort.


Johnstone Park has been a community staple hosting a varied list of events including picnic socials, seasonal festivities and religious services resulting in Caney River baptisms. The meandering drive following the west bank of the Caney River is lush with walnut trees and scurrying squirrels. Entering Johnstone Park, you are greeted by a childhood favorite…the Kiddie Park, followed by the Landmark Preservation Council’s refurbished Hulah Depot, the Burbank Oil Fire Fighting Cannon, Oklahoma’s First Commercial Oil Well…the Nellie Johnstone and then cross the swastika embellished bridge to reach the north loop of the park.


Understandably, the swastika creates a broad range of emotional responses; so, perhaps a brief history lesson will ease your concerns.


Osage Nation Minerals Council Chairman, Everett Waller says, “There was much Native American influence in embellishing the Johnstone Park Bridge with the swastika and the symbol of good luck for centuries is covered by symbols of water blessings and prayers.”


Originally, the northern part of Johnstone Park was only reachable by a rustic wooden pedestrian bridge. Then in 1917, Park Superintendent William Trautman built a wooden wagon bridge for better picnic area access. As park improvements were made, the dirt park roads were paved and the wagon bridge was replaced with a Dewey Portland Cement bridge in 1920.


Details of the decorative embellishments have eluded history books and area newspapers. However, Ernest Dewar Kirkpatrick was the City Engineer from 1911-1925 and his March 1920 drawings detail the specifications for the auto traffic bridge requiring 94 cubic yards of Portland cement with sixteen Native American good luck swastikas and water blessing symbols deeply recessed.


The Dewey Portland Cement Company was well versed in creating concrete molds as H.V. Foster had concrete quail, Don Tyler had a molded bull and the Dewey Portland Company logo was imprinted in cement.


One of the earliest historical appearances of the swastika symbol was at the ruins of Troy in the fourteenth century, B.C. Then, German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann found swastikas during his archaeological excavation in 1870. Swastika symbols have been found in China, India, Greece, Israel and literally around the world, and remain widely used in Indian religions like Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism as a symbol of divinity and spirituality.


Fast forward several centuries and the swastika or “Whirling Log of Life” became a deeply rooted symbol of good luck, good fortune, well-being and welfare for many Native American tribes.


Peter Bigheart

Across the globe the swastika has been found carved upon rocks in the mountains of India and painted upon canyon walls in Arizona. In 1909, Osage Chief Peter Bigheart wore a swastika lapel pin as part of his traditional clothing. The symbol has been seen on American Indian blankets and pottery, in books, beadwork, basketry and artwork. In addition, Dewey Roundup (1908-1949) contestants had the indigenous symbol woven into their Pendleton saddle blankets. In 1925, “Coca Cola used the swastika as a sales slogan, the Boy Scouts adopted the symbol, and the Girls’ Club of America called their magazine Swastika and sent swastika tokens to young readers as prizes for selling copies of the magazine.”


Established in 1923, the 45th Infantry Division was a unit of the National Guard comprised of over 5,000 men from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Due to the large population of indigenous people living within the four representative states, an exceptionally large percentage of the National Guard’s 45th Infantry Division were of Cherokee, Choctaw, Seminole, Apache, Sioux, Kiowa, Pawnee, Comanche, Osage, Creek and Navajo decent. In honor of the strong Native American heritage held by the Guard members, their left shoulder insignia was a diamond shaped red patch with a yellow swastika in the center…a symbol reflective of their diverse cultures that celebrated a common theme…good luck.


That all ceased in the 1930s…President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “This generation has a rendezvous with destiny.” No truer words have been spoken.


Germany’s National Socialist Party adopted the swastika as its symbol in 1920, tilting the symbol at a 45 degree angle, standing on its point, while the Native American swastika sits flat in optional left-right directions.


Once revered as the oldest cross in the world, the Nazi regime was able to bring a negative connotation to the once positive symbolism and it became forever tarnished. In 1939, the 45th Infantry Division retired the swastika from their uniforms and replaced it with a thunderbird, another Native American cultural symbol. The unit then became known as the “Thunderbirds.”


Evil has a way of worming its way into society and destroying centuries of peace and prosperity. Although the roots of the swastika were traditional and genuinely good, the symbol has been irreversibly desecrated by Nazi anti-Semitic ideology. By the 1940s, the swastika represented a symbol of fear, suppression, death and hate leading some American tribes to eliminate the use of the swastika symbol in their own expressive artwork. The multi-cultural symbol of good luck and positivity has been squashed by negativism and the propaganda of war resulting in a tragic cultural theft that reshaped world history.


We hope this history of the swastika has enlightened your world and given less power to the evil and more to your peace. May your next Johnstone Park visit bring you positive thoughts.
