I had a good laugh when I read the part in the article "The Navajo live near this area." The Four Corners is smack dab in the middle of the LARGEST Navajo Indian Reservation in the U.S. The Four Corners landmark is run by the indians there. B
I seem to recall some sort of a fire at the site ~15 years ago... can anyone confirm? (That would mean I was 8 at the time, which is why I don't remember very clearly.) ---Rob 20:37, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
Somebody corrected the location of the monument to exactly 37N,109W. It's not correct - it's supposed to be there, but 19th century surveying was not as accurate as today's tools are. This can be easily checked by looking at google maps - 37N,109W is some distance inside Colorado.
Since the reservation is technically a soverign nation, this really isn't the border of anything.
[edit] Merged
Should this article not be merged with Four corners? Both articles are about the same thing and there both quite small.

[edit] Pictures
The two pictures of the monument (the long shot and the one with the child) are clearly not of the same thing. Is the one with the child the pre-1992 monument? Or is the right-hand one actually an artist's impression of a proposed alteration? (It's either a drawing or it's very heavily processed.) TSP 02:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
