    I have noticed a strange border between southern Morocco (western Sahara) and Mauritania. There appears to be an extra border of southern Morocco. Also, when I plot the administrative boundaries and lakes, the border region in Morocco appears to be a lake. Is this a problem or am I plotting the wrong data?

    Looking at it some more, it may just be signifying a disputed area associated with Western Sahara/Morocco. Is this true?

    Yep, disputed area. It’s the line of control between Morocco and the Western Saharans. It’ll be a little clearer in the new 1.5 release.
