Summary of this case from Benham v. State

In Kentucky v. Indiana, 474 U.S. 1, 106 S. Ct. 304, 88 L. Ed. 2d 1 (1985), Kentucky conceded that its border extended only to the low water mark of the Ohio River as it existed in 1792 (Joint Exhibit 50 to Special Master's Report), which arguably means that Kentucky does not own all of the Ohio River, just most of it.
