Brendan,
There is a five-county multipoint located about six miles from
land in Lake Okeechobee in Florida, involving the following counties:
Okeechobee, Martin, Palm Beach, Hendry, and Glades. Some members of this
group have visited it by boat and can probably tell you more. I think that
this is the only American example of a multipoint with more than four
jurisdictions.

5-county points?
Hi all,
From another list, this question has been
posed. I don't remember discussing it here. Anyone know the
answer? :)
Thanks,

Since multi-county points
are still fair game for discussion, does anyone
know if there are any
5-county points in the US (or anywhere else)?
6-or-higher county
points?
Somewhat related: Raleigh has an intersection called "Five
Points", but
there are really Six directions one can go -- either way on
Glenwood Avenue
(a.k.a. US-70), either way on Fairview Road, and one
"point" each for
Whitaker Mill Road, and Glenn Avenue.. On the other
side of the coin,
Raleigh also has a road called "Six Forks Road", named
originally after the
crossroads of Six Forks, now part of north
Raleigh. But try as I may, I can
only count Five Forks at that
location -- either way on Six Forks, either
way on Strickland Road, and one
"prong" for Baileywick Road (which is really
even a separate intersection,
though it may have been different long ago),
A subdivision off of Six Forks
Road, but not near old Six Forks itself, has
two streets that play on that
road's name -- they have Six Spoons and Six
Knives Roads -- really just
short cul-de-sacs.
