The
state line begins in the Atlantic
Ocean, traveling west, south, and
north up the thalweg of the Saint
Mary's River. At the origin of that
river, it then follows a straight
line nearly due west and slightly
north, to the point where the confluence
of the Flint River (from Georgia)
and the Chattahoochee River (down
the Alabama/Georgia line) used to
form Florida's Apalachicola River.
(Since Woodruff Dam was built,this
point has been under Lake Seminole.)
The border with Georgia continues
north through the lake for a short
distance up the former thalweg of
the Chattahoochee, then with Alabama
runs due west along latitude 31°N
to the Perdido River, then south along
its thalweg to the Gulf via Perdido
Bay.
