Sounds like fun! Perhaps you know, but the final boundary line is shown
superimposed on an aerial photo at
www.state.nj.us/dep/gis/images/mapcon1999/mapcomp.jpg . Although the boundary
as decided by the US Supreme Court in 2000 might be totally undemarcated on the
landscape, a delimitation of it in terms of GPS coordinates has been made from
an 1857 map and officially accepted by both states. See
www.state.nj.us/dep/gis/images/mapcon1999/thornton.html on how this was done.
