exploretheline.com presents:


Scenes, markers and roads from
along the western end
of the most-famous border in the United States

and related locations from southwestern Pennsylvania, western Maryland and northern West Virginia

By Pete Zapadka


Generally, these pages deal with the Mason-Dixon Line (updated map shows MD Line and associated borders) from around the foot of Chestnut Ridge to The Cornerstone, the marker at the precise southwest corner of Pennsylvania.

Please note: There are few if any references to the Civil War on these pages. The Mason-Dixon Line originally was not meant to be the dividing line as it too often is considered today. In any case, I hope you'll enjoy learning about The Line during your visit to exploretheline.com!

THE ANNUAL MASON-DIXON ANNIVERSARY HIKE!

The hike was held Saturday, Oct. 11, 2008 -- see a group photo.
