•  Chesapeake Bay impact crater

  The Chesapeake Bay impact crater was formed by a bolide that impacted the eastern shore of North America about 35 million years ago, in the late Eocene epoch. It is one of the best-preserved "wet-target" or marine impact craters, and the largest impact crater in the U.S. Continued slumping of sediments over the rubble of the crater have helped shape Chesapeake Bay.

•  Twelve-Mile Circle

  The so-called Twelve-Mile Circle is not actually a circle but the compound arcs of two or more different circles that have been imperceptibly feathered together to form most of the boundary between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of Delaware in the United States. It is nominally a circle with a supposed — yet in fact only approximate and variable — twelve-mile radius, centered in the town of New Castle, Delaware.

•  Elkridge Furnace

  The site of the Elkridge Furnace and forge (located in the US state of Maryland), known today as Avalon, was a tract of land patented as "Taylor’s Forest" purchased in 1761 by Caleb Dorsey, an ironmaster. The land was located on the Patapsco river near Elkridge Landing, today being part of the Patapsco Valley State Park. The site first produced pig iron for export to England and after the addition of a forge produced crowbars, some of the earliest tools produced in America.

•  Fairfax Line

  The Fairfax Line was a surveyor's line run in 1746 to establish the limits of the "Northern Neck land grant" in colonial Virginia. The land grant, first contrived in 1649, encompassed all lands bounded by the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers, up to 5,000,000 acres. By 1719, the lands had been inherited by Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron (1693-1781). By that time the question of the boundaries of the designated lands had also become highly contentious.
