Anyone know of other cases where identical county names border each other across a state line?" Five county pairs are named for rivers: Vermilion IL/Vermillion IN, Sabine LA/TX, plus three county pairs which others have previously submitted- Big Horn MT/WY, Escambia AL/FL, and San Juan NM/UT. Surprisingly, only one of these rivers forms a state boundary (Sabine); the other rivers traverse the adjacent counties. Two additional county pairs: Kent DE/MD, Union AR/LA.
