What does 'slivers' refer to in the context of the Strips and Gore Doctrine?

Large parcels of land

Small, often undefined land areas

In the context of the Strips and Gore Doctrine, 'slivers' refers to small, often undefined land areas that may exist when properties are separated by the boundary lines, such as during the subdivision of larger parcels or when certain land features, like rivers or roads, alter the ownership lines. These areas can arise from historical surveying practices, changes in land use, or natural alterations to the landscape.

The Strips and Gore Doctrine helps clarify ownership and rights associated with these small fragments of land, ensuring that property owners understand the extent of their land claims and any potential encroachments. As such, 'slivers' distinctly denotes these minor land areas rather than larger parcels, roads, or buildings, which are not the focus of the doctrine.
