Mason and Dixon boundary resurvey begun by Pennsylvania and Maryland
The Mason and Dixon line is being resurveyed to restore line monuments and extend west end markers. Each state funds 1000 dollars for marking from the Maryland northeast corner to the Maryland Delaware line. The 1888 survey remarked Pennsylvania’s line to its southwest corner. Mason and Dixon also resurveyed Delaware’s west boundary and measured the distance from Maryland’s northeast corner to the Delaware River below Philadelphia.
