Survey of the Mason and Dixon Line
July 9 |12PM-1PM ET
Presented by: Eric Gladhill, PLS
One of the greatest surveys of early colonial America took place to settle a land boundary dispute in the years between November 15, 1763, and September 11, 1768. The astronomers were sent over from the Greenwich Royal Observatory in England to perform the world’s first geodetic survey and set stones along the agreed-upon line of demarcation between the land grants from King Charles II to the Penns and Calverts. Recently, the Maryland Society of Surveyors (MSS) and the Pennsylvania Society of Land Surveyors (PSLS) formed a joint effort to assist the Maryland Geological Survey (MGS) to help inventory the remaining Mason and Dixon stones in order to have them placed on the National Historic Registry. This webinar will discuss the past and present of this historic line.
