The border between Maryland and Pennsylvania corresponds exactly with the famous Mason-Dixon Line. This line was actually surveyed and marked in Colonial times by an English astronomer and surveyor to settle a land dispute between the colonies of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
The Delaware River forms the eastern boundary of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It forms the long meandering edge that separates the two states, all the way from the New York State line to the short curved border that Delaware has with Pennsylvania.
The Delaware River also creates a significant border between the large city of Philadelphia and smaller New Jersey towns of Camden, Gloucester City and Collingswood.
Harrisburg is the capitol of Pennsylvania. It is located on the Susquehanna River, and the city's central location within the state helps the place function as the center of state government.
The city of Eire is located on the shores of Lake Eire. From here, it is possible to go by boat directly to Canada.
Pennsylvania shares its state border with six states. They are Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Delaware.
