Uncle Sam Finishes Jig-Saw Map of States After 150 Years
The United States Geological Survey completes a long map project after a Supreme Court boundary dispute between New Hampshire and Vermont. The updated map fixes state starting points along rivers, notes ongoing river-driven changes, and highlights historic boundary battles involving Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Colorado, New Mexico, and others. The completion excludes one mile of unresolved Virginia District of Columbia border and warns future claims may alter borders as rivers shift.
