line of demarcation
Separation between territories
A line of demarcation is a boundary separating distinct areas, territories, or concepts.
The term often appears in diplomatic or military contexts: The treaty established a line of demarcation between the two nations' claims.
More broadly, it marks any clear division: There's no sharp line of demarcation between work and personal life anymore.
