These situations sometimes arise when two parcels are surveyed from different starting points- happened often with Donation Land Claims (Homesteads) in our area. I understand that "back east", many surveys were based on the big rock down in the creek (and the creek moved), the old Elm tree (which subsequently succumbed to Dutch Elm disease, etc.
The good news is that if you own on both sides of the strip, and you have been using it as though you owned it, there really is no one else who can exert a claim, and you would own it by adverse possession.
