? When or how many times the boundaries were changed
or defined

? Were they surveyed and described
? What authorities created them
? How are they defined today

MICRO BOUNDARIES
? Boundaries between individuals
? Boundaries between parcels
? Boundaries between lots

THESE BOUNDARIES ARE FOUGHT
? In the air
? Under the sea,
or¡­¡­¡­¡­..
? Wherever they
are located

THE REHOBOTH AGREEMENT
? Both states appointed boundary
commissioners and gave them unlimited
power to ¡°run the boundary line¡± and
AGREED ON A BOUNDARY
? But the Massachusetts legislature refused to
ratify the agreement in 1848
? Then Massachusetts sued Rhode Island in the
Supreme Court

MISSOURI v. KENTUCKY
78 U.S. 395 (1870)
¡°It seems that the old maps (those ex. Gr.
Prior to A.D. 1800), indicative of the physics
and hydraulics of the Mississippi, are
not greatly to be relied upon¡±
