y<br/>
&gt;&gt;es indeed<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>it almost crosses itself<br/>
<br/>
there are actually several necks or waists of these states<br/>
  jalisco & zacatecas<br/>
each only a few miles wide<br/>
but i think none so narrow nor dramatic as that of maryland<br/>
<br/>
there is at least one bizarre case however of a border actually meeting<br/>
  or even crossing<br/>
itself<br/>
    like a mobius strip<br/>
  whichever way you prefer to look at it<br/>
<br/>
where this neat trick actually does occur<br/>
it is the austria germany boundary that performs it<br/>
just south of a resulting small  quasi or pene enclave exclave  place<br/>
  called jungholz austria<br/>
    which is thus effectively surrounded by german territory<br/>
    yet without becoming totally disconnected from the rest of austria<br/>
        all perhaps only 50km east of lake constance<br/>
& it produces an amazing international but not multinational quadripoint<br/>
<br/>
you could dish it up yourself on mapquest<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
i believe i have also seen on the web a photo of an identical twist<br/>
  or self crossing<br/>
of the belgium holland boundary line in baarle<br/>
  as actually marked by a cross in the cobblestones<br/>
but i cant find it now<br/>
<br/>
if you are interested in further pursuit of that point  however<br/>
i believe the famed military map of baarle also hints at it<br/>
