Boundaries used to be bound to streams, roads etc, but not any more.
Now they're all defined by sets of coordinates. If for example bad
weather happens and the stream suddenly follows a different course,
the boundary won't move with it. And there are many streams and rivers
that changed course over time (mostly with some human help of course),
but where the boundaries never followed suit.

In any case: the boundaries that are lately put in by kocr and mdri
are approximations, they still need to be moved them to their correct
location.
