Hello,

There is a North Carolina Executive Order at:
http://www.governor.nc.gov/newsItems/ExecutiveOrderDetail.aspx?newsItemID=1607
that declares that the survey done by the North Carolina-South Carolina
Joint Boundary Commission, dated 12/20/2005 will reflect the true
boundary between the states. There is also a web site for the
Commission.
http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/boardnotices/Board.aspx?PitemId=8064789&Ename=North%20Carolina-South%20Carolina%20Joint%20Boundary%20Commission

The problem with the older survey is that it was based on metes and
bounds -- using features such as marked trees and prominent rocks,
features that do not last forever. The new survey appears to be
official. This is not an April Fools joke (although I am sure some of
the people would prefer that is is a joke). Linda Zellmer

I'm sorry for not noticing that a week earlier.  Was that story some
sort of early April Fools' Day joke??  It was my understanding that MOST
of the old state boundaries were surveyed a bit off and it had been
decided long ago to leave them just where they are, no matter how
inaccurately they were run.  No?  I find it hard to believe that state
lines may be moving all across the US.

Hello,

There is an interesting item on a new (more official) survey of the
boundary between North & South Carolina at:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46832892/ns/us_news-life/#.T2x459nld8E this
morning. Apparently, there is a new survey being done of the boundary
between the two states. It is interesting how a line can impact lives.
93 property owners will be impacted. Linda Zellmer
