With the exception of oceans, boundaries are artificial, man-made
divisions of geography that many times make little sense and
sometimes no sense at all. For example, why does the northern
boundary of Minnesota protrude into Canada? Why does West Virginia
have two panhandles? Why do Pennsylvania and Delaware have a common
boundary that is a circle segment? Why do the boundaries of
Colorado, Wyoming and Utah consist entirely of lines of latitude
and longitude? The answers to these questions and many more can be
found in this book, which explains why and how state boundaries are
placed where they are. It begins with an introduction that provides
general information about boundary placement, colonial boundaries,
formation of territories, surveying and Supreme Court rulings. The
50 states are divided into ten regions (New England, Mid-Atlantic,
Upper South, Lower South, Great Lakes, North Central, South
Central, Rocky Mountain, West, and Noncontiguous). The text for
each state begins with an overview of that state's boundaries that
becomes more specific as its different boundaries are considered.
The appendices include interesting facts about each state, citizen
and state nicknames, and dates territories were created and states
entered the Union. Richly illustrated with 138 maps.
