<div id="ygrps-yiv-1630724313"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;Now let&#39;s see if there is an answer, fractal, molecular, <br/>
&gt;whatever, for the shortest &lt;portion&gt; of a shared state boundary. <br/>
&gt;Is it NC-VA near Mackay Island?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>No.  That&#39;s about a mile and a half.  There are numerous river borders<br/>
where short stretches of land are in the &quot;wrong&quot; state for various<br/>
reasons, and many of these are extremyl short.  One example I found is<br/>
on the Delaware-New Jersey border, a bit south of where the Chesapeake<br/>
and Delaware Canal enters the Delaware River.  There, you&#39;ll find a<br/>
border fragment which is less than a quarter mile.  It wouldn&#39;t<br/>
surprise in the least to find shorter ones exist.<br/>
