Abstract:

The original boundary line between North and South Carolina, established more than two centuries ago, was proved by a stately pine tree aged more than 350 years. Until about thirty-five years ago, the exact boundary line between the two states, especially near the ocean and Lumber River, was in dispute. The original survey of the line was completed in a most inaccurate manner.
