demarkation
Line separating territories
Demarkation is a less common spelling of demarcation—the act of setting boundaries or limits, or the boundary itself.
Lines of demarkation separate territories, responsibilities, or categories: The river served as the demarkation between the two provinces.
The spelling with an "e" appears occasionally but demarcation predominates.
