Common use of Southern Boundary Clause in Contracts

Southern Boundary. The southern maritime boundary consists of three segments with no specified seaward limit. Beginning at The Gambia-Senegal land boundary terminus (point T), the line runs in a south-westerly direction for 0.70 miles to point M.4 At point M the boundary turns to the northwest and continues for 0.11 miles to point P. From point P the line extends west along the parallel of 13°03'27" North latitude. From an analysis of the treaty maps, it appears that points M and P have been derived geometrically by developing construction lines in the inshore area. Point M calculates to be very close to the mid-point of line A-B'. Point M is slightly nearer to Sengalese territory (0.64 miles) than to Gambian territory (0.70 miles). To establish point P, the two states first developed a triangle, A-mid-point of the mouth of the Allahein River (situated approximately where the letter T is on the inset map) – B – A. 2 The northern land boundary terminus was established by the Anglo-French treaty of August 10, 1889, and clarified by the Anglo-French proces-verbal of June 9, 1891.
