Well if you cannot see it then it is at least very difficult to verify. 
I'd say that not only does something need to be verifiable, it should be 
verifiable without special equipment or knowledge.

And I am not sure if "a wire strung along poles" would be sufficient to 
map a religious boundary or maybe just man_made=wire, support=poles ;) 
at least I'd like to know how someone can distinguish an "eruv boundary 
wire" from "just some wire someone strung up between poles".

But leaving that aside for a moment, is there agreement that something 
physical needs to be there for a religious boundary to be mapped, or do 
people also accept the mapping of 100% "on paper" religious boundaries 
which can only be verified by cross-checking with third-party sources?

Bye
Frederik
