Types of Boundaries

Boundaries Natural/Physical boundaries Antecedent Subsequent Superposed Relic Locational Operational Allocational Boundaries

Natural/Physical Boundaries boundaries created by physical features Ex: US/Mexico border

Antecedent Boundary drawn before the cultural landscape develops Ex: 49th parallel (latitude) separates US and Canada

Subsequent Develops with cultural landscape Ex: Formation of the states as the U.S. expanded westward

Ex: separation of North and South Korea Superposed Boundaries drawn by outside forces Ex: African country lines drawn by Europeans, not by ethnic groups Ex: separation of North and South Korea Ex: Native American reservations

Ex: East vs West Germany, difference in income, unemployment, etc. Relic Boundaries that can still be seen, even after the political boundaries have changed Ex: East vs West Germany, difference in income, unemployment, etc.

Ex: separation of North and South Korea Locational Interpretation of the boundary is in question, dispute over demarcation of the boundary Demarcation: the action of creating a boundary or limit Ex: separation of North and South Korea Ex: Native American reservations

But it is the Chinese who are trying to claim it with cellphone towers
