excuse my intrusion into your sunday evening if it is
that
because i have this amusing tale about a divided house
& a border change running thru it
http://www.tribune-democrat.com/local/local_story_323235253.html?keyword=secondarystory
& i am not even sure if it involves a tripoint
so it is offered for your titillation to be sure
but also with a question of its multipunctual
authenticity

this official map of richland township
http://www.richlandtwp.com/map.html
shows adams township to be her neighbor on the east
& conemaugh township their neighbor on the north
where the tripoint most likely to have been misplaced
since it was evidently a single survey line that was
afflicted
would be us2pa3ca4adcori

the topo shows the presumably incorrect former
tripoint here
http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=17&n=4468838&e=685555&s=100&size=l&datum=nad83&layer=DRG25

but can anyone determine the tripoint displacement
range if any involved in this border change
from the data given in the article
