Kentucky's border along the Ohio River is one example: the border is
defined to be the low water mark of the Ohio-Indiana-Illinois bank as of
the 18th century [1], so it's not the centerline and not quite the
northern riverbank. Along Ohio's section of the river, all the islands
belong to Kentucky or West Virginia.
