&gt; This raises the question: what is the closest pair of distinct<br/>
<br/>
&gt; tripoints?<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>yes  good question  but good luck too<br/>
<br/>
in choosing which kinds of tripoints you would include in your inquiry  as there are so many kinds  & myriads of each<br/>
<br/>
& how does anyone propose to settle it with any confidence<br/>
<br/>
for i know of a candidate pair of tricounty points in iowa that are less than half a roads width apart  perhaps 15 feet<br/>
<br/>
because i discovered their apparent misalignment while expecting to find a quadricounty point just there<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
all it needs is for 2 counties at a grid corner to quietly agree they abut  say  on one side of the road  & then the other 2 at the same corner to also quietly agree  they  abut in the middle of the continuation of the same road  & youve got a quadri shmoosh at the crossroads to sort out  if you can even see it<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but such minor misalignments both real & imaginary are probably common among all sorts of supposed quadripoints<br/>
