<div id="ygrps-yiv-1943543641">no joke<br/>
surprise arizona is really the name of this place<br/>
<br/>
but whats this<br/>

& please zoom out if necessary to see what looks like an explicit <br/>
arizona megapoint or near miss <br/>
lamayayu <br/>
as of the 1967 date of this 24k scale topo<br/>
<br/>
but what happened<br/>
for we know there are no tertiary megapoints in arizona today<br/>
<br/>
now or rather since the 1973 100k scale topo <br/>
it has apparently become just a mayayu tricounty point<br/>
if it ever really was a quadcounty & not just a cartographic error<br/>
<br/>
& i see the 1957 250k scale topo also shows it as a mayayu tripoint<br/>
aha<br/>
so the 1967 mapping is suspect <br/>
<br/>
but<br/>

& other recent maps i have seen<br/>
show this point not as mayayu but rather as lamaya<br/>
oops again<br/>
<br/>
so somebody must be playing fast & loose with all this desert real <br/>
estate<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but since this surprising point <br/>
whatever it may or may not have once been or is now<br/>
is apparently monumented & relatively easy looking <br/>
& since the tricounty points of arizona are completely virgin & <br/>
unknown & mostly far more remote than this one<br/>
i may just want to go give it a try</div>
