Four Corners

Four Corners is the geographic point in the southwestern United States where the states of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico meet at a single surveyed spot. The location is marked by the Four Corners Monument, a stone plaza that denotes the four-state junction.

The monument sits on tribal land and attracts visitors who often pose with one limb in each state. A small visitor area and craft vendors operate adjacent to the plaza, and the site functions primarily as a roadside attraction and photo stop.

The marked point derives from boundary surveys carried out in the 19th and early 20th centuries and is managed as a local monument rather than as a large park facility.

The monument lies on the Navajo Nation in the Four Corners region of the Colorado Plateau, roughly equidistant from small towns in the four states and accessible by regional roads.

• Unique boundary point: It is the only point in the United States where four state boundaries intersect at a single spot, marked by a stone plaza and monument.
