The treaty defined the border as being formed from the French border French Guiana to the British border British Guiana, the line of the watershed between the Amazon basin to the south, and the basins of the rivers flowing into north to the Atlantic Ocean.The treaty also established the possibility of designating a joint Brazilian–Dutch commission that would physically demarcate the border with markers if that was deemed necessary.

The boundary defined by the treaty is still the recognized border between Brazil and now-independent Suriname.

The border described in the treaty was the result of a negotiation process between the Netherlands and Brazil and followed the establishment of the borders between Brazil and France (French Guiana, to the west) and Brazil and the United Kingdom (British Guiana, to the east. )

The latter borders were established after two arbitrations that were headed by Walter Hauser, President of the Swiss Confederation, and King of Italy Victor Emmanuel III, respectively.
