I somehow don't think that Dominions has any concept of a province's "shape". As far as Dominions is concerned, the province you're clicking on is the white dot that's closest to where you've clicked.
Exactly why an icon showing the nominal white dot should be available - because from the player's view of a map that has borders displayed, finding the invisible white dot for a province can be an exercise in frustration.

This is especially true with respect to flying units, because you can't even readily follow the neighbors filter then. Small provinces (as many are on this map) excerbarate the issue, which certainly isn't a fault of the map.
