There are many "jogs" that are too small to show up
on the scales that that one shows up on, depending on
how you wish to define "jog" (see some western states)
although I don't have those maps in front of me now,
so I cannot claim the lines continue exactly straight
afterwords (although I'm sure they do, at least
partially).
On the DE arc, its interesting to note that the arc
did not go far enough west to touch the northeastern
corner of MD (the current tripoint) and eventually
contacted the MD border farther south. This
left a tiny fading sliver between the two called
the "wedge" that was claimed by PA (since it
naturally was an extension of PA territory).
Old maps of PA (those before 1921, at least the
ones that I've seen) will show this mapped as PA
territory (the dispute was resolved in favor of
DE in that year, IIRC). There's a local map store
here that has an excellent copy of one of those
old maps. Its really cool.
Also, Delaware Valley Orienteering Association has
a 1:10000 scale orienteering map that shows the
demdpa tripoint, and makes navigating to it via
public land, rather than from private land on the
MD side, fairly trivial.
