<br/>
&gt; Virginia / Maryland markers at Jones Point (which I&#39;ll publish here in <br/>
<br/>
&gt; a day or so).  While three entities are involved, only two are <br/>
<br/>
&gt; mentioned on the two stones that are there.  One of the two is a <br/>
<br/>
&gt; tri-point marker, but only two entities, Virginia and DC are noted on <br/>
<br/>
&gt; the stone.  Neither stone (it appears) really stands on the border.   <br/>
<br/>
&gt; One, between Maryland and Virginia, mentions that a turn in the border <br/>
<br/>
&gt; (from its path along the shoreline to a southerly direction across <br/>
<br/>
&gt; the mouth of a creek, is 42 feet south of the stone with an arrow <br/>
<br/>
&gt; on it marking the direction.  The other, the tri-point marker makes <br/>
<br/>
&gt; one believe the border is where the stone is - on dry land three to <br/>
<br/>
&gt; six feet above the river water - while acts of acts of Congress put <br/>
<br/>
&gt; the border at either low or high water mark, depending upon which one <br/>
<br/>
&gt; you read and believe applies.  Alexandria old town floods occasionaly, <br/>
<br/>
&gt; and when it does, Jones point must go under water, too, but other than <br/>
<br/>
&gt; during exceptions like floods, I don&#39;t think the river water is ever <br/>
<br/>
&gt; normally as high as the stone.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; Tomorrow is Monday - I&#39;ll be making some calls to see what the <br/>
<br/>
&gt; District&#39;s legal staff and the Geodetic survey believes.  Stay tuned.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; I suspect there is a missing DC-Maryland marking.<br/>

wonderful<br/>
<br/>
& interesting theory<br/>
<br/>
& i look forward to all your findings & bringings in this famously enigmatic area<br/>
<br/>
& believe you mean by tripoint marker the former tripoint marker <br/>
<br/>
if you are referring to the dc initial monument in the crypt beneath the lighthouse<br/>
<br/>
since the present tripoint per the topos & bus&ss is an unmarked wetpoint<br/>
<br/>
so please also settle this question sooner than later if you can<br/>
