Sometimes this area is visible,
But more often than not it's intangible.
Countries have disputed these spaces,
Drawn treaties to dictate their extent.
Some people are said to have none,
Not knowing where to find them.
They can be found in nature,
Where water meets with land.
It is also a peak of Nevada,
The highest in that land.
So find me now if you can,
In the place between the beginning and the end.

Answer
BoundariesBoundary lines are and have been areas of dispute in countries for hundreds of years. Sometimes boundaries are marked out with walls and fences, other times they are assumed according to tradition and law.
People who have no personal boundaries are said to be very free spirits, while people with very close personal boundaries are sometimes thought of as stuck up or prudish.
Boundaries in nature are called ecosystem boundaries. An example of this is where a lake meets with the land to form a marsh, or wetland.
The peak in Nevada is called Boundary Peak. It is located in the southwestern portion of Nevada in the White Mountains. It is the highest point in Nevada, reaching a height of 13,140 feet.
