Since the CAUS international boundary in the St. Lawrence River is reduced to straight lines and turning points, the New York-Ontario-Québec tripoint should fit the bill. The famed county quintipoint in Lake Okeechobee, Florida, and the lesser-known parish quadripoint in Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana, might also be examples, albeit in wide lakes rather than streams.

Just curious - given the uncertainty about the exact location expressed in your analysis, Mike, how would you determine/measure "success" when you say "i can only look forward all the more eagerly to our first amphibious try here because there is now every reason to make one & expect it will be successful "

This raises the question of whether you or anyone else here are aware of any similar wet tripoints being defined legally in some more precise (and stationary) manner such as by means of providing Lat/Long coordinates according to some datum (as distinct from your speculated method in this case involving fluvial mid lines which necessarily will change over time) ?.
