Just my two cents - the tongues of lands jutting out
caused by water boundaries in county levels are
interesting, though not as interesting as true
enclaves and the lower level it is in a country, the
less interesting. Thus a county tongue is less
interesting than Point Roberts or Denver enclaves but
somewhat interesting nonetheless.
Plus I think people's interests in oddities are
different. Somebody is interested in only
international enclave, somebody just historic enclaves
and they might find a local enclave boring. I myself
seems to has been interested in almost every level of
curiosity of every type, though to a different degree.

Anyway, searching for tongues, I happened to have
landed on the DE-NJ boundary. Does anybody have an
idea why the the boundary partly follows the NJ bank,
making chunks in NJ to be DE land, and partly the
median of the Delaware River. Seems one or the other
would be convenient, but not both at parts.
By the way, Brendan, I am quite sure the Schley-Taylor
boundary cross exists at the county level. It seems
like in the census maps and topozone 1:25000. Maybe
Mike can go visit the area and make sure and maybe put
a cross in there.
