Arkansas and Tennessee sought to have their interstate boundary officially marked and located through this Court's original jurisdiction. The Supreme Court confirmed the commissioners' report establishing the boundary line on the ground and declared it to be the true boundary between the two states, with the costs of the proceeding to be shared equally by both states.
