Hi Jan,
Thanks for you input. Do you know how I can identify a local OSM
community? I am not an avid editor on OSM (yet).
Cheers,
Andra

Hi Andra,
very right, the data for background maps originates from the
OpenStreetMap, both at WDQS and Wikipedia (if you check the map of Suriname
by clicking the coordinates in the heading of its WP page
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suriname>, you can see, that the Tigri
Area is part of Guyana).
I've just checked the OSM data in that area and the map is de facto blind
there. There are only the main rivers and the state borderline with
"source=CIA World Database II" listed.
As I checked other disputed territories elsewhere, it is technically
possible to draw a disputed state border in OSM, but first of all, you need
some trustworthy source from which you can redraw the boundary.
Best way how to fix this would be to contact local OSM community (if
exists) and let them check it.
Regards
Jan

(not 100% sure) The problem doesn't come from
WDQS itself but from OSM
and it should be corrected there (if possible, I don't know exactly how OSM
deals with such complexe problematic).
