This past Friday a friend and I presented a workshop at the Maryland Society meeting on the boundaries between Maryland and West Virginia / Virginia - specifically focusing on the Supreme Court decisions that have more or less settled the boundary.
We have been asked to present the workshop elsewhere, but perhaps change the focus from just those three states to include other states as well.
If you know of other state boundary disputes that have made it to the courts for decision I would appreciate any leads you can give us. Specifically the states involved and the approximate time period of the case. Also, if you can summarize the important issues that may be of help as well.
Feel free to post the info here or email it to me at [email protected] . It would be best if you don't use BeerLeg email because all email that comes to me through BeerLeg ends up in my junk folder.
Thanks
Dave

I don't think everything was settled until the 1970's, and then it was settled by the Supreme Court.
Maine and New Hampshire went at it a few years ago:

Howdy,
How about the Texas-New Mexico? See: This amusing article wherein the Texas Land Commissioner proposes to solve the issue by a duel.
Good luck,
