Funky Boundaries

I have found a handful of really odd political boundaries and wonder how many more are out there..?

Here is a good one - Argentina must have really wanted the peak of El Muerto:

Over time, the meandering Mississippi River has carved the State of Kentucky into two separate land masses:

Here is the State boundary between California and Nevada on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe where the state line crosses inside of the Cal / Neva Casino.  The state line is actually painted inside to allow patrons to do the 'Cal / Neva Jig".  Not to mention in their pool too...

This is VERY interesting!

I will have a look around and will try to find some strange border too

A classic: Baarle Nassau / Baarle Hertog, Netherlands / Belgium.

Does anybody know why Andros Island in the Bahama's is divided by what looks like an easement..?

I think it's the boundary between two administrative districts.

Ah of course, thanks Washi.   I'll assume the double-district line was a slight of digitizing, as opposed to the Island actually having a DMZ.  Whatever it takes to keep those pesky Central Androsians out of North Andros!

I didn't know that and I was a California resident for 50 years!  My excuse: I've never been in a casino, much less the Cal/Neva.
