  • The Four Corners Monument marks the quadripoint in the Southwestern United States where the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah meet. It is the only point in the United States shared by four states, leading to the area being named the Four Corners region. The monument also marks the boundary between two semi-autonomous Native American governments, the Navajo Nation, which maintains the monument as a tourist attraction, and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe Reservation.
    The origins of the state boundaries marked by the monument occurred just prior to, and during, the American Civil War, when the United States Congress acted to form governments in the area to combat the spread of slavery to the region. When the early territories were formed, their boundaries were designated along meridian and parallel lines. Beginning in the 1860s, these lines were surveyed and marked. These early surveys included some errors, but even so, the markers placed became the legal boundaries, superseding the written descriptions of geographical meridians and parallels. This includes the Four Corners Monument, which has been legally established as the corner of the four states.

    I was there in the late 1980s. I arrived at sunset and I was the only one there! There were only the markers in the ground and Navajo vendors selling jewelry. No buildings, walls, railings, benches - they really built this place up since then!

      I first visited this monument in the early 60's....virtually nothing there except the circle with the crossing of the state lines. I revisited a few years later, abhored the trashy commercialism it had morphed into and NEVER returned.

      @@sentientarugula2884 There was a small gravel parking lot surrounding it, and about a 50-foot square of grey concrete with 4 brass circles or caps, you could park next to it about 10 ft away. No landscaping, walkways, buildings, no vendors selling things, or very many people. There was only one car with 2 people there taking photos. It was cool to see it the way it was.
