Eastern Point

The easternmost point is uncertain.

The comment in the history for citation needed is:

Based on a layman's look at Google Maps, there are two locations in Fuyuan County which are both really really close to being the easternmost point. The more northern of the two options (at Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island) is part of a formerly(?) disputed area according to this map: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Txu-oclc-6614368-nm53-11.jpg 'BOUNDARY IN DISPUTE'. Some kind of official source is needed to confirm which one is the true easternmost point.As recorded in the history comment, a citation is needed.

It is either on the Ussuri at approximately 47°44'09"N 134°46'08"E as recorded in the current article.

Or it is near the Amur, on a border defined after the Sino-Soviet border conflict, which was finally resolved in a survey in 2008. Google maps shows the border at 48°21'55.5"N 134°46'06.0"E, which would be 2" seconds of arc west of the Ussuri location (~40m). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikhailfranco (talk • contribs) 13:44, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mikhailfranco: Yeah, I'm still confused about this one. There must be an objective answer to this question, but I would say we need the full text of boundary agreements between Russia & the PRC in order to determine which area has a point furtherest east. I think what you did is fine. Geographyinitiative (talk) 05:19, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The best wiki map I could find, referenced from Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island:
