Try as hard as I might I cannot find any specifics as to what defines nearly any border in Africa, let alone most of the world. Is there some sort of site that has this information? I'm looking for specifics, like a geographical feature or a border treaty defining parallels.

I merely chose Algeria at random, but any site that explains the reason behind borders would be fantastic. I'm aware of both the 1830 Conquest and the Berlin Conference but I still don't understand why the border is like it is and what legal document actually states that this is what the border is.
