Border
map of 2012. Indirect Latvian marker 0697 and a poor unpaved road from
the Rubeni farm to the border.
According to the 1927 border
treaty map there was a 500 metre middle marker at this point, and a border
crossing existed 2.
Right north of the road there
were in 1927 some small buildings at the crossing point. South of the road
the farms Mazrubėnas was located on Lithuanian side, and Ezerini on Latvian
side 2.
The
point was visited in April 2015.
