Panel Moves To Settle Centuries-Old Indiana-Michigan Border Debate

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - A yearslong effort to establish an official boundary between Indiana and Michigan is getting underway.

The Indiana-Michigan Boundary Line Commission has agreed to seek quotes for survey work from Mile 0, which starts at Lake Michigan, to Mile 20, in St. Joseph County, Indiana.

The work is part of an effort to clear up the 105-mile border between the two states, which has been anyone’s guess for the better part of two centuries.
The only government-recognized line between the two states is based off wooden stakes driven into the ground by Eleazer Kendrick in 1827. But most of those stakes have disappeared over the years, blurring the exact location of the border that stretches from southern Lake Michigan to northwestern Ohio.

Volunteers have hiked through woods, marshes and grasslands and searched lakes and streams for the stakes, but they’ve only found a handful over the years.
