The border between Delaware and Pennsylvania was created by drawing a 12 mile Arc from the New Castle Courthouse. Everything inside the Twelve Mile Circle belonged to Delaware and that man made point on the map still exists today and is the only circular state boundary in the United States. A second mapping anomaly caused by the Arc was created because of the accuracy limitations of surveying equipment at the time. It is called The Wedge and consists of a single square mile of land that was in dispute until 1921.
