+PFF Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Click here for story. Attempts to re-establish the boundary between North and South Carolina have been going on for nearly ten years. Apparently, it is not newsworthy until the line gets "fuzzy" as it passes through a residential subdivision in one of the South's largest cities. [Grin.] Nevertheless, the article is interesting. Longtime readers of this Forum will recognize some of the names, such as Gary Thompson (North Carolina) and Alan Jon Zupan (South Carolina). The article mentions an old marker which was taken to a museum (and later restored to its original location). GEOCAC know this marker by its PID: FB3773. While the original line was marked axe-blazes, the eastern section of the NC-SC boundary was marked in 1905, using granite monuments. On the western end, modern surveyors have found stones and other markings created by surveyors nearly 200 years ago. -Paul- Quote Link to comment
