Mason-Dixon Line Western Crossings

Mason-Dixon Line Western Crossings

From Ned eastward to Brown's Hill

Wolf Run Road:

Looking uphill into Pennsylvania on this wooded road near Ned, Pa. (added Dec. 2004).

Turkey Hill Road:

Looking into West Virginia on this little-used road near Ned, Pa. (added July 2005).

Brown's Run Road:

West Virginia appears wooded as we head south across The Line in this crossing east of Ned. (added July 2005).

Rock Camp Road:

This road makes a sharp curve as it winds north into Pennsylvania. (added July 2005).

Plantz Hill Road:

Looking south into West Virginia on this rural road west of Garrison, Pa. (added June 2004).

Route 18:

Heading toward West Virginia -- here, Pa. Route 18 becomes W.Va. Route 69. This rural area is just south of Garrison, Pa. and north of Hundred, W.Va. (added Dec. 2004).

Hardy Farm Lane:

A private road in West Virginia, this narrow lane leads to Renner Creek Road and Garrison. (added July 2005).

Gilmore Cemetery area:

This road skirts The Line to the east of Garrison, Pa. (added Dec. 2004). It is difficult to tell exactly where The Line is, but it probably runs down the road. I'll try a GPS reading at some point to pin it down, but rest assured, The Line is some in this shot!

Renner Creek Road:

The same road as the one in the Gilmore Cemetery photo. Here, it leaves West Virginia heading west towards Garrison, Pa. (added Dec. 2004).

Hagan's Creek Road:

Again, the same road as the two previous shots. Here, we're entering the Keystone State primarily heading east. (added Dec. 2004).

Hero crossing:

Looking into the Keystone State and toward Hero (added 7 Oct. 2004).
Entering West Virginia south of Hero. (added 7 Oct. 2004).

Pumpkin Run Road:

A hard-to-find crossing I updated with the help of W.Va. resident Larry Thomas on this rural road near Jollytown, Pa. The Line is just beyond the sign on the left but before the house. Looking south. (updated 18 Oct. 2004).

Shamrock crossing (west of Brave):

Entering Pennsylvania. The coal train runs on tracks to the left. (added June 2004).
Looking south into W.Va. toward the mine. (added June 2004).

The "Brave Loop":

Looking east along Dunkard Creek toward Brave, Pa. This road "loops" briefly from the Shamrock area into West Virginia then back into Pennsylvania (added June 2004).
Looking west into Pa. and the Shamrock area (added June 2004).

Brave-Blacksville:

The main road between Brave, Pa., and the Blacksville, W.Va. area (added June 2004).

Wright's Run:

Looking north on Wright's Run Road. This crossing is hard to determine but it is in this shot at a metal post to the left above the creek (added June 2004).

Rudolph Run Road:

Looking north on placid Rudolph Run Road. (added June 2004). This is one of my favorite crossings. It's simply peaceful and beautiful.
Approaching West Virginia on Rudolph Run Road. This road will take you to the "world-famous" Dunkard Creek and W.Va. Route 7. (added June 2004).

Hacklebender Run Road:

Approaching the Keystone State along Hacklebender Run Road. GPS readings show The Line crosses just in front of the bush in the yard ahead on the right. The green road sign in the foreground, placed by Greene County, appears to be in West Virginia. (added June 2004).

Black's Run Road:

Thanks to my new friend Earl "Wayne" Lemley who helped me find The Line here! He owns the property to the east of the road.

Looking south across The Line. Take note of the fence at the right on the border. (added June 2004).
Looking north into Pennsylvania. (added June 2004).

Henflint Road:

Looking north on this difficult-to-locate crossing immediately to the west of Brown's Hill (added July 2005).
