Marker text: CATAWBA WAR PATH

Branch of Warrior Trail of the Great Catawba Indian War Path located here where Mason and Dixon Survey crossed Dunkard Creek for third time. Guide, Six Nations IndiansÕ chief, declared he Òwould not proceed one step further,Ó because hostile Delaware and Shawnee Indians had ordered them to halt. On Oct. 18, 1767, western end of original Mason-Dixon Line was set on the next high peak, BrownÕs Hill.
