Catawba War Path

A branch of the Warrior Trail of the Great Catawba Indian War Path was located here where the Mason and Dixon Survey crossed Dunkard Creek for the third time. The guide, chief of the Six Nations Indians, declared that he “would not proceed one step further,” because hostile Delaware and Shawnee Indians had ordered them to halt. On Oct. 18, 1767, the western end of the original Mason-Dixon Line was set on the next high peak, Brown’s Hill.
