LOST BOUNDARY
A lost boundary is a boundary that cannot be found or identified.
Example 1: A property owner cannot find the markers that indicate the boundary of their land. This means that the boundary is lost and cannot be identified.
Example 2: A country's border is disputed between two neighboring countries. The exact location of the border is unknown, making it a lost boundary.
These examples illustrate how a boundary can become lost when it cannot be identified or located. This can cause confusion and disputes over property ownership or territorial claims.
