you must be the true wizard of try pointing<br/>
<br/>
& this also means the several of us at bp have now made visits or<br/>
tries at tertiary megapoints in probably a dozen states now<br/>
<br/>
& it makes me wonder how your megapoint survey is coming & whether we<br/>
can expect a report on it<br/>

&gt; While in Kansas to attend my grandson&#39;s graduation from K State<br/>
&gt; we visited a couple of county quad points.  One was of particular<br/>
&gt; interest.  The attached picture does not show the street signs as<br/>
&gt; clearly as I wish, but you will note that there are four corner <br/>
&gt; posts, one placed by each county.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Joyce is standing on the quad-point(no markers)in the middle of <br/>
&gt; the intersection, facing SW. Dickinson Co. is the NE quadrant, <br/>
&gt; Saline Co. is NW, Marion Co. is SE, and McPherson Co. is SW. <br/>
&gt; Dickinson County, upper right, behind Joyce is bounded by Solomon <br/>
&gt; Road to the north and 100th Ave. to the east. South from the <br/>
&gt; quad-point the bounds of Marion Co. are 370th to the east and <br/>
&gt; Meridian to the south.  McPherson Co. is bounded by Winchester Rd. <br/>
&gt; and 30th Ave., and the Saline Co roads are Solomon and Coronado <br/>
&gt; Heights. With different names on each side of the roads it seems <br/>
&gt; obvious the center line is the boundary.  Only Solomon Rd. is <br/>
&gt; common to two Counties, Saline and Dickinson.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; It was a bit peplexing at first to see so many signs and you can <br/>
&gt; see that two sign are in the SW quadrant and two in the NE quadrant,<br/>
&gt; which made it more difficult to sort it out.  This is in the middle <br/>
&gt; of nowhere and we didn&#39;t see anybody to ask about this.  The map<br/>
&gt; programs don&#39;t have all the road names right but they helped.<br/>
