Hi Andra,

very right, the data for background maps originates from the OpenStreetMap,
both at WDQS and Wikipedia (if you check the map of Suriname by clicking
the coordinates in the heading of its WP page
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suriname>, you can see, that the Tigri Area
is part of Guyana).

I've just checked the OSM data in that area and the map is de facto blind
there. There are only the main rivers and the state borderline with
"source=CIA World Database II" listed.
As I checked other disputed territories elsewhere, it is technically
possible to draw a disputed state border in OSM, but first of all, you need
some trustworthy source from which you can redraw the boundary.

Best way how to fix this would be to contact local OSM community (if
exists) and let them check it.

Regards
 Jan
