Marker Text:
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.
The marker was erected in 1983 by the Lancaster County Historical Commission.
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.
U.S. Geodetic Survey Marker EC1655 is now inserted in the monument.
