South Corner Boundary Stone

I only wish this was still the official boundry because it would be really neat if one could walk around the DMV multiple times in a matter of seconds. The only way to do that now is with a perfectly positioned boat.

The south corner boundary Stone is in very good condition and is located next to the historic lighthouse.

I had no idea the first boundary stone, for Washington DC, was laid in Alexandria, VA. Very cool.

The South Corner Stone is the genesis of the rich boundary stone history.

I love the surveyor markers identifying DC, MD and VA, going southwestward from the Potomac River shoreline to this stone, then northwestward from it, to the base of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

Under the glass. Under the glass.

Really neat piece of history especially for me, a surveyor

Wandering over to the Jones Point Lighthouse, I found the South Cornerstone laid by Ellicott and Baneker in 1791. Very interesting. I am now motivated to visit the other three
Cornerstones in Virginia an Maryland.

Interesting adventure

Needs to be kept up!
