läänökohta

Läänökohta is a geographical term originating from Estonian. It literally translates to "county point" or "regional point." The term is used to denote a specific geographical location within a larger administrative region, typically a county (lään) in Estonia. These points can be significant for various reasons, such as marking boundaries, historical sites, or geographical features of importance.

Historically, such points were crucial for administration and land surveying. They served as reference markers for defining territories and managing resources. In modern times, the concept might still appear in administrative documents or geographical databases, though its practical application may have evolved with more precise mapping technologies. The precise definition and usage of läänökohta can vary depending on the context, whether it refers to a natural landmark, a man-made structure, or simply a coordinate point. It is a term that bridges historical administrative divisions with geographical identity.
