@batinas14 That's close, but not exactly right. It was a property dispute between the Penn(Pennsylvania) and the Calvert familys(Maryland). What is now Delaware was owned by the Penns at the time. The "Crown" stones, placed every 5 miles have the Penn family's Coat of Arms on one side and the Calvert's on the other. The "mile marker" stones had a "M" on the Maryland side and a "P" on the Penn side, facing Delaware and PA

@batinas14,all correct there, you left out however that the survey was commission by King Charles 2nd. He had "chartered" some land to Pennsylvania,which reduced Maryland and upset the inhabitants of that State.

Education and great entertainment in a lovely song,great stuff. As a complete "layman", who knows nothing of musical instruments, I think Mark Knopfler must be one of the best guitarists around.

The MasonDixon Line was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon in the resolution of a border dispute between British colonies in Colonial America. It forms a demarcation line among four U.S. states: Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia. In popular usage, especially since the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Mason-Dixon Line symbolizes a cultural boundary between the Northern United States and the Southern United States (Dixie).
