State border high points

Someone in the Facebook Highpoint group asked about state border high points and I remembered that someone had done some work on this, so I dug it up.

I checked through it and filled in some blanks for coordinates and names and reordered a few things.
Credit to Fred and SpookyMike for the original work


There were some questions about Indiana and Alabama at the time. were they ever resolved?


Only a few of the named peaks were in peakbagger so I added a fair number of them

The Utah listing is incorrect. The HP is very close to the Uinta WY CoHP:

<https://listsofjohn.com/peak/211763>

Indiana is a bit off as well. Not sure if there are any other differences I can remember from checking against the draft list.

The full list:

And now an interesting followup to this would be the highest point on individual border segments of the states. For instance, now that we know that that point just off the summit of Berlin Mountain is the highest point on the boundaries of both New York and Massachusetts, we could look at, in the vicinity, the New York-Connecticut border (in all likelihood just east of the summit of South Brace Mountain at around 2,300) the Connecticut-Massachusetts border (easy; its the CT state HP), and the New York-Vermont border (which I would imagine to be near, if not possibly at, the southwest corner of Vermont just off the Taconic Crest Trail north of the Route 2 trailhead for Berlin Mountain.

NJs border HP is also the NY-NJ border HP (again, easy, since thats NJs only land border). I would guess that the NY-PA borders HP is somewhere around Allegany State Park in the former state or so.

It should be noted that the second one listed for Maine, the 3,855 one, is the mountain informally known as Boundary Peak (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_Peak_(Maine/Quebec) , climbed by any peakbaggers working on the New England Hundred Highest list, often (if you dont want to drive over to the Quebec side) by climbing nearby White Cap, bushwhacking down into the saddle where you pick up the border vista and following that all the way to the summit, the highest point on the US-Canadian border in the East.

Counterintuitively, NJ also has a land border with Delaware. Look at the vicinity of N39.61772 W75.55911. Rumor has it that NJ fishermen have been accosted by the Delaware authorities for straying into that bit of Delaware and not having a DE license. There is essentially zero relief there, as shown on the map and eyeballed by yours truly years ago. Perhaps LIDAR can find a spot an inch or two higher than the rest along the border.

Thanks, Mike, Id forgotten about all the soyle beneath and Finn and Artificial points.

On a side note, I think the combination of those two make for the shortest land boundary of any two states.
