&gt; colorado nebraska state line  where 3 counties of nebraska meet a 4th county<br/>

&gt; Sorry to disappoint you Michael but unfortunately the NE corner of Colorado<br/>
<br/>
&gt; is not a quadricounty point.  The county line between Kieth Co, Ne and<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Perkins<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Co, Ne intersects the Deuel Co, Ne line about 500 ft. north of the Colorado<br/>
<br/>
&gt; corner.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; So it&#39;s two tri-points, one consisting of these three counties and the other<br/>
<br/>
&gt; is<br/>
<br/>
&gt; composed of Sedgwick Co. CO with Duel and Perkins NE.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Thus far I have identified 18 quadricounty points on State lines and one on<br/>
<br/>
&gt; the Canadian border. Someday I&#39;ll get the quadricounty point project done.<br/>

<br/>
for it is fortunate to have your attention on all this<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
my delorme nebraska atlas certainly agrees with you about cone<br/>
<br/>
&  tho i cant access topozone at the moment<br/>
<br/>
i feel confident usgs also agrees with you & delorme<br/>
<br/>
so qed  & there should probably be no more discussion<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
however my recollection & photo of the cone monument itself<br/>
<br/>
  for which please see the link in message 357<br/>
<br/>
tell me that each of the 4 corner tablets within the monument is devoted to one of the 4 counties you named above <br/>
<br/>
& tho i cant read the full inscriptions on my pix  i can clearly see the name keith at the top of one of the tablets <br/>
<br/>
but i do admit i cant recall exactly where it said keith was<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
for it may well have said  keith isnt here  as you say  but over there<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so i would say this is definitely worth double checking<br/>
<br/>
if somebody wouldnt mind visiting the monument again<br/>
<br/>
&or checking the relevant nebraska statutes<br/>
<br/>
  er  maybe i will volunteer<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also what fun to know you are coming round the far turn with the revised tertiary megapoint punctoscopy<br/>
<br/>
& that you have already found 18 interstate quadricounty points<br/>
<br/>
  & yikes even an international one now<br/>
<br/>
compared to the only 7 that were known as recently as message 547<br/>
<br/>
