it was too good to be true
as previously reported circa message 5301 or 5306

shows at lower left what appears to be a fantastic new
singularity
a quintipoint incorporating 2 border crosses
one border cross of broomfield county & one of jefferson county
along with an additional single corner of boulder county
producing all in all the alleged usco3bobrbrjeje
however
an extremely close look at this supposed quinticonjunction using
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.92&lon=-105.14&s=2
5&symshow=n
reveals it is probably only a near miss & not a true hit
since the newly emergent broomfield county
in following the old corporate boundaries depicted on the topo
shows every sign of actually disconnecting from itself here
between a pair of very close but otherwise ordinary tripoints
probably no more than 40 feet apart
usco3bobrjee & usco3bobrjew
moreover
this hairline disconnection & the hairline connections that do
appear on the first map surrounding the clave of weld county at
upper right & the clave of boulder county at center
are evidently owing to the same peculiar cause
for one notices thruout the topos of this area
& built into many of the corporate limits
what appears to be a road allowance or right of way
in the form of a slight offset from many sectional boundaries
& even some subsectional boundaries
& which is often compounded into a corridor strip
so of course
on a smaller scale such corridors show up as hairlines
or as a nonexistent megapoint
but anyway dont think of it as losing a monster point
so much as gaining a totally virgin clave of broomfield county
not to mention confirming the 2 other claves named above that
had been hanging til now by these hitherto inexplicable hairlines
