"lies on the 49th parallel north" is not quite accurate; I prefer "lies along". The border is defined not by the abstract latitude but by markers like this obelisk, which wobble from 49掳 by a few hundred metres each way; see 49th parallel north#As border. It follows that the Northwest Angle is not the only bit north of 49掳. 鈥 Tamfang ( talk) 06:06, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
The article would be made more useful if it began with at least a general description of the geographical location of the border. The detailed description of the border is given later and is subdivided by provinces or regions beginning on the west coast. However, as the delineation of the Canada-U.S. border proceeded from east to west, it would make more sense to present the description of its route in the same fashion. This was the approach taken in the Treaty of Paris and I would surmise though I am not certain, in most of the other documents which defined the border. This being the case, the description of the physical border from east to west would better enable the reader to relate that process to related historical events.
