demarcations

Lines separating territories

Demarcations are boundaries or dividing lines that separate one thing from another.

The term often appears in discussions of territory, jurisdiction, or conceptual distinctions: The demarcations between departments were never clearly established.

A line of demarcation formally separates zones or spheres of influence.

The word carries a sense of deliberate, official separation rather than natural division.
