For all my attempts here, I&#39;ll separate my guesses into what I can<br/>
think of Top of My Head vs. After Consulting a Reference.<br/>

&gt; given that there are about 3143 counties etc in the usa but only<br/>
about 62 tristate points<br/>
&gt; the overwhelming majority of counties must be devoid of tristate<br/>
points of any kind<br/>
&gt; & in fact only about 5 percent of them have any tristate point at all<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; but which exceedingly distinguished county has no fewer than 3  <br/>
&gt; marked tristate points<br/>
<br/>
TOMH: The one at the tip of Oklahoma&#39;s panhandle.<br/>
ACAR: Yes! Cimarron County, OK, has nmoktx, conmok, and (barely) cokaok.<br/>
  <br/>
&gt; & which 3 counties have 3 unmarked tristate points each<br/>
TOMH: I&#39;m thinking they must be along the Mississippi and/or Ohio<br/>
rivers, but I dunno where.<br/>
ACAR: Aha! I&#39;ve got it! New Madrid MO, Fulton KY, and Lake TN all<br/>
contain both kymotn1 and kymotn2. Good one.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; & while at it<br/>
&gt; which 3 counties have 2 marked tristate points each<br/>
<br/>
TOMH: Clark County, NV (or is azcanv unmarked?); Berkshire County, MA<br/>
(manyvt, ctmany)<br/>
ACAR: Oops... Clark NV doesn&#39;t reach all the way to aznvut, so it&#39;s<br/>
only got one tripoint. But Mohave County, AZ certainly has two<br/>
tripoints; the only question is whether the one in the Colorado River<br/>
is marked or unmarked. Berkshire MA is a winner. Aha... since Union<br/>
County NM and Baca County CO both definitely have two marked tripoints<br/>
each, by process of elimination Mohave AZ must be 1 marked, 1 unmarked. <br/>
<br/>
&gt; & which 2 counties have 1 marked & 1 unmarked tristate point each<br/>
<br/>
TOMH: The northern county in Delaware.<br/>
ACAR: As seen above, Mohave AZ is one. New Castle, DE is the other.<br/>
 <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; note  <br/>
&gt; marked normally means dry <br/>
&gt; & unmarked normally means wet<br/>
&gt; & there is at least one somewhat tricky situation<br/>
&gt;  <br/>
