Which four U.S. states meet at the Four Corners Monument?

The Four Corners Monument marks the only place in the United States where four states meet at a single point. Those four states are Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. A visitor standing on the monument can be in all four states at the same time - a piece of geographic novelty found nowhere else in the country.

The reason four states meet so precisely is the way their borders were drawn. Unlike borders that follow winding rivers or coastlines, these state lines were drawn as straight lines along lines of latitude and longitude. When straight borders are laid out this way across the map, they can cross each other at perfect right angles - and at the Four Corners, four of them do exactly that.

The monument itself sits on land belonging to Native American nations, and is managed by the Navajo Nation. A granite and brass marker shows the exact meeting point, surrounded by the seals and flags of the four states. The site is a popular roadside attraction, where visitors often pose with a hand or foot in each of the four states at once.
