Strange Borders

I started this series out of curiosity for disputed borders around the World. I soon learned that the most interesting border examples were not disputed at all. They were just strange and interesting. My self-imposed guidelines are that every map must be square and use the same basic design (font and color palette). The maps are all closely cropped to focus on the critical border elements and story.
