Subject: RE: US--Four Corners<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Why is there a monument on this topo map labeled &quot;Four Corners&quot; that is<br/>
<br/>
located on hilltop clearly in Colorado and not at the four corners? It&#39;s<br/>
<br/>
labeled elevation 4,961. Is this merely a USGS marker that is named for the<br/>
<br/>
nearby four corners? &gt;&gt;<br/>
<br/>
I&#39;m unable to find a USGS data sheet for the &quot;Four Corners&quot; benchmark <br/>
mentioned by Kevin.  The next one of us who visits Four Corners might clamber up that <br/>
hill in CO to look for the BM.  Another interesting tidbit--the USGS <br/>
designates the marker at the actual Four Corners as &quot;CO UT AZ NM,&quot; which for some <br/>
reason lists the four states  counterclockwise, starting in CO.  Wonder if this <br/>
follows some USGS convention, or is just random, based on the preference of <br/>
whoever made the inintial designation?<br/>
