Alice,
U.S. State Dept., Law of the Sea conference maps reduce the
problem somewhat by extending boundaries from all oceanic
possessions--whether they're visible at 1:30,000,000 or not.
you could then eyeball the (unclaimed) gap. if more
refinement is needed, repeat operation on DCW for exact
coordinates, but this should work to +/- 1 degree.
if sheets are not in your map collection, they were also
issued in report form by State Dept., I believe.

OK--Challenge from a user at NOAA of all places. Any ideas folks?
[e.g....strangest question? no?]
Or...the real stumper, furthest from ANY surface landform [e.g., an
island]

a: SE South Pacific, somewhere in the lower 40's lat.
b: SE South Atlantic or Indian Ocean; somewheres in the lower 40's would be
my guess - closer to Australia. There's a couple of small rocks out there -
I'd need the charts to make sure
