§ 7. New Jersey boundary line. The boundary line between the states of
New York and New Jersey is as follows:

Commencing at the said "tri-state monument, " and running thence along
the line laid out by a joint commission from the states of New York and
New Jersey in 1774, and which was more definitely marked with monuments
by another joint commission in 1882, under chapter 340 of the laws of
1880, on an average course S. 51Á E. , with slight deflections as to the
same as marked by mile monuments, a distance of 48.20 miles to the
station rock on the west bank of the Hudson river, said station rock
being in latitude 40Á 59' 48.17" north and longitude 73Á 54' 11" west,
as determined by the United States coast survey, and marked as the
original terminal monument of the line as established in 1774, according
to the report of the commissioners on the boundary between the state of
New York and the state of New Jersey, dated March 24, 1884; thence
easterly to a point in the Hudson river in latitude 40Á 59' 49.74" north
and longitude 73Á 53' 38.57" west; thence southerly along the middle of
said river and of the bay of New York to a point opposite the northeast
angle of Staten Island; thence westerly along the center of the Kill von
Kull to a point opposite the northwest angle of Staten Island; thence
southerly along the center of the Arthur kill or Staten Island sound to
a point at the entrance of Raritan bay, such point being in latitude 40Á
29' 55.57" north, and longitude 74Á 15' 33.31" west, as the same is
shown on maps and agreement filed by a joint commission of the two
states in the office of the secretary of state, and dated December 23,

between Sandy Hook and Coney Island as the same is shown on a map filed
with the secretary of state, and dated October 12, 1877, thence easterly

which have become dilapidated or been removed on the boundary lines of
those states, and it was thereby declared that the lines originally laid
down and marked with monuments by the several joint commissioners, duly
