Posthumous Recognition
The crater Mason on the Moon is named after him.
Mason is one of the titular characters of Thomas Pynchon's 1997 novel Mason & Dixon.
The song "Sailing to Philadelphia" from Mark Knopfler's album of the same name, also has strong references to Mason and Dixon, and was inspired by Pynchon's book.

Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or recognition:
“One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“While you are nurturing your newborn, you need someone to nurture you, whether it is with healthful drinks while you’re nursing, or with words of recognition and encouragement as you talk about your feelings. In this state of continual giving to your infant—whether it is nourishment or care or love—you are easily drained, and you need to be replenished from sources outside yourself so that you will have reserves to draw from.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
