The actual location of the US-Mexico border qualifies as such. At the time, the Mexican government believed the US border to be at the Nueces River, while the Americans thought it was the Rio Grande River.

This ill-defined border resulted in skirmishes between American and Mexican troops, and were later used as a pretext by President James K. Polk to declare war on Mexico. You should note, the actual objective of such war was the forced acquisition of California.
