The Mason-Dixon Line.
The Mason Dixon line forms part of the southern boundary of the state of Pennsylvania. It also forms the northern and eastern boundries of Maryland and a part of the northern boundry of West Virginia, then Virginia and the western border of Delaware. The line was surveyed in the 1760's by Mason and Dixon to settle some land disputes.
