PA/WV/MD 3Pt Visit, 19Oct05

A short drive from Mt. Davis, Markleysburg is aprx. 25 miles SW of the PA hp. In Markleysburg, locate the junction of Rt 281 where it makes a sharp right angle turn. At this corner, Brown Hill Rd. intersects. Disregard the "No Outlet" sign and follow this route for 1.4 miles, which breaks down to a ragged paved road for .4 miles, a better finely graveled section for .3 miles, then a rough, stoney but doable stretch for.7 miles. At the first yellow gas pipeline markers, park on the left; the tri-point is located to the right via the pipeline service road.

Head west toward the power line which can be seen in the distance. Here, the pipeline approach is a tad north of the Mason-Dixon Line on the PA side and provides an easy .2 mile walk to the marker. While crossing under the power lines, look up. When just below the final strand, make a hard left and go aprx. 35ft. off-road to the PA/WV/MD 3Pt. Magellan 315 reading: 39/43/16N, 79/28/36W.

Per Jack Parsell's description, "...there is another monument put there by the Boy Scouts in 1967 commemorating the bicentennial of the establishment of the Mason-Dixon Line." Note that just beyond the parking pull-off, where a second pipeline crosses the road, an historical M-D Line marker is located there, dated 188? along with other time-worn hieroglyphic-like engravings.
