excellent resource which was originally referred to me by Mike Donner:<br/>

&quot;Boundaries of the United States and the Several States&quot;:<br/>
Geological Survey Professional Paper 909<br/>
<br/>
This softbound publication discusses the history and demarcation of <br/>
the various state boundaries, complete with numerous illustrations.  <br/>
You can consider it the &quot;bible&quot; of the hobby!<br/>

avaialable from the Superintendent of Documents, US Government <br/>
Printing Office (Library of Congress catalog card no. 75-37452.  <br/>
Other ID numbers are stock no. 024-001-02758-5 and catalog no. I <br/>
