fresh virgin multipoint today class a
http://topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.72417&lon=-77.47167
where the mason dixon line crosses the blue ridge
tho i only just realized they even do cross
yikes
at the interstate tricounty point of franklin county pennsylvania
with frederick & washington counties of maryland
aka frfrwa or mdpa3frfrwa or technically us2mdpa3frfrwa
marked by a shiny round topped stone post in someones side yard

& tho i cant tell whether the blue ridge itself may continue in the
scramble of mountains still farther north from here
this point does mark the northern limit of the use of the blue ridge
as a state &or county boundary

in fact frfrwa is exactly 1 tricounty point & 1 state line north from
mdvawv on the blue ridge
& all very cleanly so
seeing as the frwa county line completely transsects maryland along
the blue ridge

all of which you can see if you zoom out

but if you zoom in
you will find this topo is quite odd
in showing the tripoint & the marker in 2 different locations

on the ground
there is only an ordinary mdpa marker at the tripoint position shown
on the topo
but the true tripoint marker is the one shown about 50 yards farther
east on the opposite side of the road

marker 92 still farther east is a mason dixon milestone
