1. Boundary Line Marker

Inscription. One of the last refinements in the N.C.-S.C. boundary was marked with a stone inscribed "1813" and located about ½ mile SE of here. This adjustment was made because of uncertainty in location of the Salisbury Road which had served as north-south boundary from the western terminus of the state line, surveyed in 1764, to the Catawba Indian lands of 1763.

Erected 1983 by Lancaster County Historical Commission. (Marker Number 29-14.)

According to the National Register of Historic Places nomination form, part of the stone marker's top was knocked off when a car hit it. In addition, the stone marker currently reads 1818 because of vandalism. These changes are noted in the nomination form.
