boundary lines
Edges of territory
Boundary lines are the edges that mark where one territory, property, or zone ends and another begins.
They appear on maps, in legal documents, and sometimes physically as fences or markers: The survey established the boundary lines between the two farms.
The phrase often emphasizes the linear, drawn quality of borders—something that can be crossed or disputed.
