Description:Excerpt from Report and Accompanying Documents of the Virginia Commissioners Appointed, 1873 Sir: I am instructed by my colleagues on the boundary commission between the states of Virginia and Maryland, to report to you their proceedings since their last report, and to submit a statement on the part of each state, setting forth their respective claims of boundary. Maryland claims to the South bank of the Potomac, to Smith's point; thence to Cedar straits, on the E. shore of the Chesapeake bay; thence up the Pocomoke river to where what is called the Calvert and Scarbrough line crosses that river; thence by said line to the Atlantic ocean. Virginia claims to the North bank of the Potomac, to the extreme southern angle of Point Lookout; thence by a right line to the extremest part of the westermost angle of Watkins point, at the North headland of Little Annamessex river; and thence by the Calvert and Scarbrough line to the Atlantic ocean, according to the line run in 1668 by the commissioners on the part of the two colonies, fully and finally confirmed by both Lord Baltimore and the royal province of Virginia. This difference of boundary embraces eminent domain of great value, and the commissioners of the two states are earnestly endeavoring to agree upon a fair and liberal compromise. The joint commission met first at Annapolis, whence they adjourned, after examining certain records there, to meet at Crisfield, on the line of the Eastern shore, near the initial and closing point of the entire line between the two states.
