But the schomburgk line author stated it wasn't intended to include legitimate territory. This is reflected for instance on Google maps not showing a solid border. The line was a rough survey with an explicit agreement between Britain and Venezuela that didn't establish territorial borders and agreed to not colonize vicinity of either side. To this day the area disputed is largely lawless jungle with no agreed territorial line. It is very much a modern question due to this loosely defined state.
