border markers
Lines between nations
Border markers are physical objects placed along boundaries between countries, states, or other jurisdictions to indicate where one territory ends and another begins.
These range from simple posts or stones to elaborate monuments, depending on the significance of the boundary and the terrain.

Along remote or disputed frontiers, border markers serve both practical and symbolic functions, making visible what would otherwise be an invisible line on a map.
