Julius Monroe, Surveyor, West Virginia State Boundary Line Photographs, 1911

0.1 Linear Feet Summary: 1/2 in. (55 photographs in 1 folder)
Black and white photographs taken by Julius Monroe, a surveyor who worked to establish the boundary between Maryland and West Virginia as decided by the Supreme Court in Maryland v. West Virginia in 1910. The court ruled in West Virginia's favor, concluding that the Deakins Line was the official and correct demarcation between the states. Monroe and other commissioners were thereafter appointed to locate, establish, and permanently mark the boundaries with monuments. There are 55 photographs taken at dates during 1911 showing the progress of the survey. Most of the photographs have a date and identification number recorded onto them. A small number of photographs also include a caption. Subjects of the photographs include markers, campsites, and men working. See A&M 1632 for further information regarding Julius Monroe and the boundary dispute.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
