Every point on the earth's surface has a latitude and longitude.
Your map may not have any marks near the place you're looking at, but the location of the place can still be measured.
If you measure a piece of string, and your ruler has no mark on it that lines up with the end of the string, that doesn't mean that the string has no length. It only means that its length is somewhere in between two of the lengths that are marked on your ruler.

On a map why would the boundary lines be straight?
Boundary lines on a map are often straight due to human-made demarcations such as survey lines, political agreements, or treaties. Straight lines can simplify border management and administration, reducing potential disputes over ambiguous boundaries. However, natural features like rivers and mountains can also create straight boundaries on maps.
