Triangular Jog | Kentucky Studies

Kentucky’s Triangular Jog is a brief, abrupt change in the boundary line between Kentucky and Tennessee. The boundary is basically a straight line from east to west when suddenly in Simpson County, Kentucky, it takes a mysterious jog south before turning north again, forming a triangle shape dipping south into Tennessee.
