INDIAN BOUNDARY
Near here the highway crosses Meigs-Freeman Line, surveyed in 1802, boundary between whites & Cherokees until 1819.
Divison of Archives and History, 1998.
Just south of US74 Exit 85 on US23 Asheville Highway. On west side of road with shoulder parking available.
Per the NC link below, we learn that the survey line ran "southwest from the North Carolina - South Carolina border in Transylvania County to Mount Collins in Cherokee County."
