subsequent findings on the above subjects
including corrections
to the original message repeated at bottom
first
thanx to the following official mohawk maps
http://www.c-c-concepts.com/Six_Nations/Mohawk_Drum/map.htm &
http://www.northnet.org/earth/map.htm
plus the relevant mapquest serving & a delorme new york atlas
all which together being still inadequate to the task
i have just figured out that there probably are no quadripoints of any kind
anywhere around akwesasne
whether twins or otherwise
& that this conception was just wishful thinking & silliness on my part
oops
second
the notion of a mohawk quintipoint has also proved to be rather far fetched
if not entirely fantastic
for in this case there does remain some small basis in fact
insofar as the tribal maps do divide the tribal territory into canadian &
united states halves but indicate no separation along the onqc
interprovincial boundary within the canadian half
so it may be said that 5 subnational entities do all communicate at the
nyonqc international secondary tripoint
1 united states new york
2 canadian ontario
3 canadian quebec
4 akwesasnean canada &
5 akwesasnean united states
third
the configurations of the adjacent akwesasne reservations along the caus
boundary are such that the canadian portion extends both farther east &
farther west than does the united states portion
& this reality does produce all together a natural quintipopper of major points
which are as follows
proceeding from east to west along the caus line
1 akcause
at or in pike creek
west long in degminsec 74 33 26 approx
between caus mon 759 at 74 33 00 & 28 hundredths nad83
& caus mon 760 at 74 33 31 & 24
2 caus2nyqc4bofcsn
aka the international tritown point of
bombay & fort covington ny & snye qc
in woods near open land
w long degminsec approx 74 34 21
between caus mon 761 at 74 34 04 & 23 hundredths
& caus mon 762 at 74 34 32 & 35
3 caus2nyonqc
aka 0akca0akus0caus2nyonqc in fanciful mohawkcentric
in st lawrence river southeast of cornwall island
w long degminsec approx 74 40 15
between turning pt 1 at 74 40 13 & 9 tenths
& turning pt 2 at 74 40 23 & 8
4 caus2nyon3frslst
aka the international tricounty point of
franklin & st lawrence ny & stormont dundee glengarry on
in or near the st lawrence seaway
w long degminsec approx 74 43 38
between turning pt 5 at 74 43 18 & 5 tenths
& turning pt 6 at 74 43 51 & 4
5 akcausw
in north channel of st lawrence river
w long degminsec approx 74 46 16
between turning pt 9 at 74 45 47 & 3 tenths
& turning pt 10 @ 74 47 34 & 4
none of these 5 major points promises to be easy
& presumably only the first 2 stand any chance of being marked
